While we were in Kolkata, we spent time working with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity (MC). This organization started in 1949 with one nun: Mother Teresa. The woman to the left in the above picture helped start this now worldwide mission by allowing the homeless Mother Teresa to use part of her house as the first site for The MC. After 3 years of caring for Kolkata in this house, a Muslim man felt compelled to give the growing organization (there were 28 sisters by this point) the current large house now famously referred to as The Motherhouse. The nun to the right wearing the traditional white and blue saree worn by all MC nuns is Sister Rachilla.
