Mother Teresa establishes the Missionaries of Charity.

Mother Teresa (born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, then part of the Ottoman Empire) was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She is most widely known for her profound humanitarian work, especially with the poor, sick, and dying in the slums of Calcutta (now Kolkata), India. Her work transcended religious, cultural, and national boundaries, making her one of the most admired and celebrated humanitarians of the 20th century.
