There are many people belonging to different organizations, who try to feed the hungry, heal the sick and educate the ignorant. The problems of the poor are so great that it seems only large organizations with huge amount of money could ever hope to solve them. However, one woman has done a lot for the poor in Calcutta by going to the poorest of the poor people alone with only a few coins in her pocket. This remarkable woman is known as Mother Theresa.

In 1948, Mother Theresa set out alone, wearing a white sari made of cheap cotton cloth, with a blue border and a cross on the shoulder. She went to stay with some American nursing nuns to get some medical training. She needed the nursing skills so that she could be of help to the poor. Then, in a little cubicle given to her by a poor family, she opened a school. She taught the children of the slums how to read and how to keep themselves clean.

Mother Theresa had no money except for those few coins, no food except what she was given. Soon, however, some of the girls she had taught came to her aid, and so the work of helping the slum dwellers of Calcutta began/started to expand.
