Sister Of The Poor Retires
For most of her life, Mother Teresa, 86, has taken care of people. In 1950 she started a religious order in Calcutta, India, called the Missionaries of Charity. The 4,000 Roman Catholic nuns in her group run orphanages and homes for the poor and sick all over the world. Next month Mother Teresa, winner of a 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, will retire. She is sick and recently admitted, "I can't carry on like this." Now it's time for someone to take care of Mother Teresa.
