'Don't do big things, do small things with great love', this expression of Mother Teresa, the Albanian of Skopje and the benefactor of Calcutta, has a place today more than ever. To commemorate the day she left this temporary world, September 5 became the International Day of Charity, with the aim of sensitizing and mobilizing people, NGOs and stakeholders around the world to help others through voluntary activities and philanthropic.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, or Anjeza Gonxhe Bojaxhi from Skopje, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 "for the work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and suffering, which also constitute a threat to peace."
The Albanian missionary was born in 1910. In 1928 she went to India, where she devoted herself to helping the poor. In 1948 she became an Indian citizen and founded the order of Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta in 1950, gaining fame for her work among the poor and dying in that city.
For more than 45 years she ministered to the poor, the sick, the orphaned and the dying, while leading the expansion of the Missionaries of Charity, first in India and then in other countries, including hospices and homes for the poor and the homeless.
Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, at the age of 87, leaving a good name around the world and giving pride to every Albanian for the humanity she showed.
