GP-an influential person

Today I am going to talk about a influential person in the field of humanitarian.

Mother Teresa was a compassionate lady whose great contribution in humanitarian work won her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She also founded the Missionaries of Charity and attended to the needs of the poor,sick,orphaned and dying of Calcutta,India. Over time she gained international prominence as a humanitarian and advocate for the poor and helpless.

I consider Mother Teresa to be influential as she inspired a lot of other people to affiliate themselves with her order. Her efforts in the humanitarian work made them admire her and made them feel that it is important to care for the poor and disabled rather than always focusing on the rich and wealthy to see what they can contribute to the society. Catholics who were inspired by Mother Teresa set up quite a number of charity organisations and recruited volunteers to help out at these places.

Mother Teresa gave hopes to the poor and disabled not only in Calcutta,but to the rest of the world as well. She spent her entire life doing humanitarian work,without any complaints or regrets. Her contribution is just limitless. Untill now,her missionaries of charity are still helping people who are helpless,with over a million volunteers. This shows that even people today get influence by Mother Teresa's effort in the humanitarian field and want to play a part in helping the less fortunate too. Mother Teresa is also voted by people around the world as the 1 of the 100 most influential people in the world.
