On 11 December, 1979, Mother Teresa went to Norway. She went to receive the greatest p

rize in the world—the Nobel Peace Prize. She stood in her blue and white sari in front of hundreds of important people. She spoke simply. She had no notes. She told them of the poverty and sadness in the world.

She received the prize of $190 000 not for herself but for the poor people of the world. She used the money to feed hungry people, to give homes to those who have nowhere to live, to give help to the sick and the dying. In fact she received more than $190 000. There was not the usual Nobel banquet in 1979. The money which was saved on the banquet bought meals for fifteen thousand hungry people.

The Nobel Peace Prize is usually given to famous politicians, but Mother Teresa is not a politician. She is a nun, the Mother Superior of the Missionaries of Charity. She received theNobel Peace Prize because her whole fife has been given to loving and helping people.
