The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families. 

Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

I don't thing there are any people like Mother Teresa left on our earth who can help another person selflessly. There is lot that we can learn from her life which will help us to be a good human being and to be of some help to another person. I hope we will be able to reduce the pain and sorrow thru which we all are going thru in forms of poverty, unemployment, terrorism, wars etc.
