Building Peace .
  • When Teresa was twelve she knew she would get a
    job in peace. She joined the sisters of Loreto an
    Irish community of nuns with a mission of
    Calcutta. In India in 1928 she became an
    official. She noticed a lot of suffering so she
    got permission to leave her school and work for
    the poor. Even though she had no funds she opened
    up a school for the homeless. On October 7th 1950
    she got permission to start her own order called
    The Missionaries Of Charity which was made to
    love and care for poor people. Mother Teresas
    order spread over the poorest parts of the world
    like in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

We Believe Mother Teresa is a Peace Hero Because

We all believe that Mother Teresa is a peace
hero because she was influenced to help the
poor. She made her own order and used her own
time to keep the poor healthy and educated. She
also became a nun which is a peaceful, religious
person. And all in her own time . She thought of
others and not always herself.
