Agenes Bojakhiu was born in Skopje, Yugoslavia, of Albanian parents. Her father was a prosperous merchant. She
was attracted to the life of a missionary in India at a very early age. At eighteen, taking the name of Teresa in memory
of Little Flower of Lisieux, she entered the Missionary Order of the Loreto Sisters and on January 20, 1931, she stepped
off a steamship onto the quay at Calcutta, then the largest city in the Empire after London. For sixteen years, she taught
Geography to the daughters of well-to-do British and Bengali society in one of the most prestigious convents in Calcutta.
One day in 1946, however, during a train journey to Darjeeling, a town on the slopes of the Himalayas, she heard a
voice. God was asking her to leave the comfort of her convent, to go and live among the poorest of the poor in the vast
city beyond. Having first obtained permission from the Pope, she changed into a plain white cotton sari and founded a
new religious order whose vocation was to relieve the misery of the most neglected of men. In 1950, the Order of the
Missionaries of Charity was born, a congregation which thirty-five years later would have two hundred and eighty-five
thousand charitable foundations throughout India and all the other continents, including countries behind the Iron
Curtain
