A good quick read

I recently picked up the Time Magazine special edition of Mother Teresa at 100, celebrating her work over the past 100 years.  Her story absolutely captivated me.

Mother Teresa started working with street children.  She would gather them under a tree, and invite other sisters to teach them until their group got so big that the city built them a building.  The sisters now reach thousands of orphans around the world.

Her humble beginning invigorates me.  She started with that one group of children at 38 years old.   62 years later, millions of people have been touched - the poorest of the poor - from orphans to people dying from horrendous diseases.  She loved them with all her might. She was their voice in this world, fighting for their right to live without suffering.

HALO has been around for just over 5 years.   I think about us when we are 62 years old. 2067.  I can only hope we reach millions, that with each child who comes into our care the world becomes a brighter place.   Actually, I hope the world will no longer need HALO by that time.
