This was the turning point in her life and since then she has been dedicated to serving the underprivileged. From a convent to the streets of Calcutta, her life has been quite an incredible journey. She touched many lives and was appreciated for her work. Even today, she is looked up to and given as an example to us. She was Albanian by birth, but chose to make India her home. She helped the unwanted and the unloved and gave them hope.
