Best Answer

A:

Mother Teresa began her career as a young nun teaching at the Catholic school of St Marys. She soon felt she could do more to spread the Catholic faith by opening missions in poor countries such as India.

Mother Teresa realised that her objective required large sums of money that could only come from donations, so she opened hospices, schools and other facilities that would attract these donations. The first hospice for the dying destitute was opened in a temple annex building donated to Mother Teresa for this purpose. It is still only a small-scale facility with fewer than 100 beds for inmates. This is in keeping with Mother Teresa's objectives, which were to convert people to Catholicism, not so much to provide services to the poor. Her values were expressed in the statement, "We are not nurses, we are not doctors, we are not teachers, we are not social workers. We are religious, we are religious, we are religious."
