The following is an excerpt of a profile on Mother Teresa.
On September 10, 1946, on the long train ride to Darjeeling where she was to go on a retreat and to recover from suspected tuberculosis, something happened. She had a life-changing encounter with the Living Presence of the Will of God. Mother Teresa recalls:
"I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity."
Here's a BBC article profiling Muhammad Yunus, an innovative thinker and man of action whose revolutionary ideas are helping the poor raise themselves out of poverty.
