Agnes (later to become Mother Teresa) was born in Skopje Macedonia. She was raised to love God and love others above all else and from an early age she knew she wanted to dedicate herself to religion so she became a nun. She was fascinated by stories of missionaries helping people and wanted to do the same. She travelled to Ireland and then to India where she worked hard to help all those around her. She taught in a school but realised she could do more and so she founded a hospital in an old temple where she fed and cared for the poor and the sick. She spent the rest of her life caring for those in need around the world and is now remembered as Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
