Her country at that time was called Macedonia. Now it is called Albania.“Anjeze” is “Agnes” in English. It means “little flower.” Most people today do not know the name Anjeze Bojazhiu.  \nBut they know her other name,“Mother Teresa.”Mother Teresa spent most of her life helping very poor people in India. She wanted them to know that they were loved. Even if they were dying, she showed them her great love. She was known all over the world for this.  \nAnjeze’s family had enough money for a comfortable life. But they cared about poor people. Sometimes Anjeze’s mother would feed their hungry neighbors. She told her little girl,“Never eat a single mouthful unless you are sharing with others.” Anjeze never forgot that.  \nWhen she was young, Anjeze heard stories about missionaries. She heard about the wonderful work they were doing. She began to think she could also do something beautiful for God. By the time she was 12 years old, she knew that she should live “a religious life.”  \nAnjeze heard about the huge city of Calcutta in India. Thousands of people there were poor and sick. Many were starving to death. She wanted to do something to help them. At the age of 18, she left her comfortable home and went to Ireland for training. There she joined the Sisters of Loreto, a group of Catholic nuns who worked in India. Nuns are women who set their lives apart to serve God. They wear special clothes to show that they are nuns.  \nIn Ireland Anjeze learned English because the Sisters taught Indian children in English. Anjeze wanted to teach with them. After a few months of training she left for India. She never saw her mother or her sister again. First Anjeze went to Darjeeling, near the Himalaya Mountains. It was a beautiful place. There she learned to speak Bengali. Bengali is one of the main languages of India.  \nThen she moved to the Loreto convent in Calcutta. A convent is a home for nuns. There Anjeze herself became a nun. When a woman becomes a nun, she takes a new name. Anjeze wanted to take the name of Therese de Liseux, the patron saint of missionaries. But another nun in the same convent had already chosen that name. So she used the Spanish spelling of the name, Teresa. She became “Sister Teresa.”  \nSister Teresa taught in a school near the convent. She liked her work. But she noticed the very poor people who lived close by. In 1943 there was a famine. There was not enough food for everyone. She saw people starving and suffering terribly. In 1944, Sister Teresa became headmistress of the school. But she grew more and more restless.  \nBy 1946 she felt that God was telling her to leave the convent. She believed He wanted her to live among the poor people and help them.  \nShe began her work with the poor in 1948. Instead of wearing the clothing of the Loreto nuns, she wore along Indian dress called a sari. It was made of plain white cotton with a blue border. All the women who worked with her later wore this same clothing.  \nSister Teresa became an Indian citizen. She got medical training at a hospital. Then she went into the poor areas. She saw people who needed much help. They could not help themselves.
