" It is Her work that inspires me in my every day work to help children in need and anyone that needs support, anyone who needs love. There is no greater joy than to see how the love that you give calms down troubled souls. With her work, Mother Teresa teaches us that everyone has something and has the possibility to help someone, LET’S DO IT! Let's continue Her work, helping someone, let’s continue Her work of giving love. Anyone of you has this opportunity."
