Mother Theresa deserves to become a saint for many reasons. First, she devoted her life to helping the poor of India. For example she established school for children of the slums. Also, she helped the poor, the sick, the lepers, the AIDS patients and the lonely in India. Second, Mother Teresa helped the people in all over the world. She helped the hungry in Ethiopia, radiation victims at Chernobyl, and earthquake victims in Armenia. Third, she received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding. She also received the Balzan Prize and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.
