Mother Teresa: Modern Saint of the Poor

With a population of over 14 million, Kolkata (Calcutta) is the third largest city in India. Of that 15 million, over four hundred thousand people live on the streets. In the poorest neighborhood of Kolkata, a Catholic nun from Macedonia named Mother Teresa gave love and a helping hand to the people who lived there. This is the story of a remarkable woman who devoted her life to the poor in a land far from her birthplace and inspired the entire world: Mother Teresa, recipient of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
