After her schooling and training she went to Calcutta in India where she would become famous for her good work. While teaching in a school she felt a strong desire to do more to help the sick and dying people in Calcutta. In 1952, she set up a centre for the terminally ill. She wanted these people to have the best quality care in their last days.Her work inspired many people and her organization grew and grew. Originally she had twelve women working for her, but by the year 2000, there were more than 4000 people working for the organization running schools, orphanges and homes for the sick and poor all over the world. Even people who didn’t agree with all of her views could admire all of the good that she did.In 1979 she was awarded the Nobel peace prize and when she died, aged 87, the French president Jacques Chirac, said what many people were thinking : “This evening there is less love, less compassion, less light in the world".

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both its advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First of all, you can enjoy peace and quiet. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier and more open. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside the city. Firstly , because there are fewer people, you are likely to have fewer friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is harder to find work. As a result , you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others.On the whole , it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast , young, single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
