MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa of Calcutta has often been described as a saint. She devoted her whole life to charity work, looking after the poor and the sick. Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in what is now Macedonia. From the age of 12, she said she knew that she wanted to dedicate her life to helping people. After her schooling and training she went to Calcutta in India where she would become famous for her good work. While teaching in a school she felt a strong desire to do more to help the sick and dying people in Calcutta. In 1952, she set up a centre for the terminally ill. She wanted these people to have the best quality care in their last days.Her work inspired many people and her organization grew and grew. Originally she had twelve women working for her, but by the year 2000, there were more than 4000 people working for the organization running schools, orphanges and homes for the sick and poor all over the world. Even people who didn’t agree with all of her views could admire all of the good that she did.In 1979 she was awarded the Nobel peace prize and when she died, aged 87, the French president Jacques Chirac, said what many people were thinking : “This evening there is less love, less compassion, less light in the world".

When Esther left school at the age of sixteen. Her aunt Flory gave her $500 for her birthday. Most of Esther’s friends decided to go to college, but Esther used her aunt’s money to start her own business.She bought fruit, sugar and some glass jars and began making her own jam. She sold the jam to her friends for $1 a jar and soon doubled her aunt’s $500.
At first, her parent wanted Esther to go on studying instead of spending time making jam. They hoped that one day she would be a teacher or a doctor. But Esther didn’t listen to them. She just kept on making jam. After a few month, she started selling it to the local market. Then she started making orange juice. She sold this to a school where one of her friends worked.
After two years, her business was very large and her parents were very pleased with her. She made all kinds of food which she sold to shops and supermarkets. She was so busy that she had to get some people to work for her.
