  • Mother Teresa, the Angel of Calcutta
    INDIA Mother Teresa, the angel of Calcutta ©Simone Bergamaschi Calcutta, India, Nirmala Shishu Bhavan it’s the house built by Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity to welcome orphan kids and the ones with physical or mental problems. In the area there are a lot of families counting on this centre to give their children a better present. On September 4th, 2016 Pope Francis will proclaim saint a tiny nun from Albania, born in 1910 and passed away 87 years later: Mother Teresa. Just saying her name recalls immediately her minute figure, wrapped up in a white and blue sari, always with a smile on her wrinkled face. Having her name associated with the city of Calcutta (from 2001 officially known as Kolkata) is more difficult for many: it’s the place where Mother Teresa lived and worked most of her life, serving the poorest among the poorest surrounded by extreme indigence and its related violence, decay and enormous suffering. It was that immense poverty to push Mother Teresa to move to Calcutta right after completing her novitiate and her nurse education in the North Bengal. She never left Calcutta since then. Here she started to look after and cure the sick persons she was finding on the roads, founding later the order of the Missionaries of Charity and a huge number of homeless centres, hospitals and clinics dedicated to people affected by leprosy. In many occasions Mother Teresa found herself involved in controversies, but her tireless missionary activity gained more and more credibility as time went by. She also started to be supported from personalities like Lady Diana Spencer, and in 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize.

  • A Day in Kolkata"
    "A Day in Kolkata" Realizado por : Cityseeker 14 Ubicaciones indicadas Mother House "A Glimpse into the Finest Life" 54 Bose Road is one of the most famous addresses in Kolkata and an important stopover for every tourist visiting the city. The building aptly called Mother House is the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa's vision to spread hope and love to the despair. Even today, Mother Teresa’s sisters of charity, clad in their trademark blue- by Hiroki Ogawa bordered saris, continue to carry forward her legacy. Visitors can pay their respects at the Mother's tomb and visit the museum displaying objects from her routine life – sandals and a worn-out bowl that stand as true reflections of her simplicity. Invoking peace and a range of different emotions, this place allows you to catch a glimpse into the life of one of the finest human beings to have ever lived. +91 33 245 2277 www.motherteresa.org/ 54/A A.J.C. Bose Road, Missionaries of Charity, Calcuta Raj Bhavan "Royal Residence" During the colonial rule, the Britishers erected magnificent structures and palatial residences, that often replicated buildings and government offices back in England. Raj Bhavan is one of such splendid heritage landmarks in the city of Kolkata. Spread across 27 acres, the wrought iron gates and imposing lions atop, create a majestic allure to the whole place and draw a clear line of distinction between the powerful rulers and the powerless common man. It continued to be the official residence of Governor- Generals and Viceroy until Kolkata ceased to be the capital of India and Delhi came into prominence.

  • Episode 3: Mother
    Episode 3: Mother ERIKA LANTZ: Mother Teresa was always traveling. Flying here. Flying there. I tend to think of her as living a spartan life, but, of course, she took planes like anyone else. Mary Johnson remembers this one time in particular: The two of them flew from Rome to Sweden. Mary was Mother’s traveling companion and assistant for the trip. MARY JOHNSON: We were going there for an ecumenical conference where Mother was going to be honored and was going to give a talk. ERIKA: They boarded the plane in their blue and white saris. Mary also packed two heavy boxes of “Miraculous Medals” -- these small religious tokens that Mother Teresa would kiss and hand out to people. Mary and Mother Teresa settled into their seats in first class. They’d booked economy, but Mary says airlines always upgraded the tickets. MARY: They're trying to avoid all that commotion that would happen if people knew Mother Teresa was on the plane. ERIKA: Mary says Mother Teresa pulled on the sleeve of one of the flight attendants and said: MARY: “All that extra food, you know, that people aren't eating, that you're going to have to throw away anyway -- could you give it to me, and I will use it for the poor?” ERIKA: The flight attendant looked hesitant, awkward. She explained they had to throw the food waste away; it was against the rules to keep it. MARY: And she said, “Oh no, just tell them Mother Teresa needs it for the poor. They won't make any fuss for you.” And anyway, long story short, eventually she went around with a big, black trash bag collecting things from people, and, of course, that's how people came to know that Mother Teresa was on the plane, and then they all started to come one by one and standing next and Mother would sign things for them and kiss the medal and give it to them and pray with them and all the rest of it.

    CURRENT AFFAIRS= 04-06-09-2020 TEACHERS’ DAY The President of India Ram Nath Kovind greeted teachers across the country on the eve of Teachers’ Day. We celebrate the Teachers’ Day on the birth anniversary of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September 1888 – 17 April 1975) was an Indian philosopher, academic, and statesman who served as the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India (1962–1967). He served as the professor of philosophy at Mysore(1918-21) and Calcutta(1937-41) universities. He was the first Indian to hold a professorial chair at the University of Oxford. His philosophy was grounded in Advaita Vedanta, reinterpreting this tradition for a contemporary understanding. He was awarded several high awards during his life, including a knighthood in 1931, the Bharat Ratna in 1954, and honorary membership of the British Royal Order of Merit in 1963. He was also one of the founders of HelpAge India, a non-profit organisation for elderly underprivileged in India. Sarvepalli believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country". Since 1962, his birthday has been celebrated in India as Teachers' Day on 5 September every year. Poshan Maah CROSS & CLIMB 2019 1 Under Poshan Abhiyaan, the month of September is observed as Poshan Maah i.e. Nutrition month every year, since 2018. ‘Agricultural Fund of India’ is being created to have complete information about the crops that are grown in each district and their related nutritional value.

  • Missionaries of Charity Embrace the Poor and Sick
    Missionaries of Charity embrace the poor and sick On a sweltering August morning, Matthew Walinsky leaves the sanctuary of the AIDS hospice at St. Wenceslaus, Baltimore, where he resides, to volunteer around the corner at the Missionaries of Charity summer Bible camp. Though he appears robust, the 50-year-old former altar boy from St. Jane Frances de Chantal, Pasadena, suffers from a host of AIDS-related health problems that make the vigorous unpaid volunteer sessions a taxing labor of love. “The sisters have been so good to me and have set such a great example of the amount of work we can all do if we have the will, that I’m more than happy to help out,” said Mr. Walinsky, referring to the six Missionaries of Charity who run several free programs in the community. The Missionaries of Charity, a religious order for Catholic women founded in 1950 by Mother Teresa in Calcutta, are grateful for the presence of volunteers like Mr. Walinski at their three-week camp for about 60 children who live in a low-income neighborhood which has experienced a high rate of violent crime in the past several months, according to city crime reports. “These kids are in desperate need of masculine love,” said Jeff Wright, another volunteer at the camp and a St. Wenceslaus parishioner. “Most of them have little – if any – male guidance in their lives and they really crave the attention of the male volunteers at the camp.” The press-shy Missionaries of Charity traditionally doesn’t grant media interviews, because the women shun self-glorification and the sisters never solicit donations for their countless charity programs.

  • The Missionaries of Charity
    Review of Child Safeguarding Practice – The Missionaries of Charity Review of Child Safeguarding Practice in the religious congregation of The Missionaries of Charity undertaken by The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) Date November 2015 Page 1 of 11 Review of Child Safeguarding Practice – The Missionaries of Charity CONTENTS Page Background 3 Introduction 4 Role Profile 4 Profile of Members 4 Policy and Procedures Document 4 Structures 4 Management of Allegations 5 Conclusion 5 Terms of Reference 6 Page 2 of 11 Review of Child Safeguarding Practice – The Missionaries of Charity Background The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) was asked by the Sponsoring Bodies, namely the Irish Episcopal Conference, the Conference of Religious of Ireland and the Irish Missionary Union, to undertake a comprehensive review of safeguarding practice within and across all the Church authorities on the island of Ireland. The NBSCCCI is aware that some religious congregations have ministries that involve direct contact with children while others do not. In religious congregations that have direct involvement with children, reviews of child safeguarding have been undertaken by measuring their practice compliance against all seven Church standards. Where a religious congregation no longer has, or never had ministry involving children and has not received any allegation of sexual abuse, the NBSCCCI reviews are conducted using a shorter procedure. The size, age and activity profiles of religious congregations can vary significantly and the NBSCCCI accepts that it is rational that the form of review be tailored to the profile of each Church authority, where the ministry with children is limited or non-existent.
