How did Mother Teresa get this award?
Mother Teresa got this award for doing good things, e.g. charity work. She has started many charity foundations, not just in her own country but in many other countries. Mother Teresa got awarded The Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
The Origin of The Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize was created by a man called “Alfred Nobel.” “Alfred Nobel” demanded that five people chosen by The Norwegian Parliament, “who have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Each year someone wins The Nobel Peace Prize. Mother Teresa won The Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
Explain how the person got involved in the work.
Mother Teresa has also been involved in Charity work but more recent than earlier on in her life. She left home when she was 18 and joined The Sister’s of Loreto as a missionary, but she then never ever saw her Mother or Sister again. On the 7th of October 1950, Mother Teresa
received permission to start The Missionaries Charity.
The mission was to care for, in her own words, “The hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, and all of those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.” Then because she did so much good charity work, she got awarded The Nobel Peace Prize.
