For more than 45 years, Mother Teresa dedicated her life to serving people living in poverty, the sick, orphans and the dying. She was awarded the nobelprize for Peace in 1979 in recognition of her humanitarian work. Her selflessness continues to inspire acts of compassion and generosity, including the International #CharityDay, observed each year on 5 September, the anniversary of her passing. Join us in celebrating those whose commitment continues to make a difference. Share in the comments the people you would like to honour for their generosity. 📷: UN Photo / B Lane
