You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.\" --Mother Teresa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLifelong educator Mary Poplin, after experiencing a newfound awakening to faith, sent a letter to Calcutta asking if she could visit Mother Teresa and volunteer with the Missionaries of Charity. She received a response saying, \"You are welcome to share in our works of love for the poorest of the poor.\" So in the spring of 1996, Poplin spent two months in Calcutta as a volunteer. There she observed Mother Teresa's life of work and service to the poor, participating in the community's commitments to simplicity and mercy. Mother Teresa's unabashedly religious work stands in countercultural contrast to the limitations of our secular age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoplin's journey gives us an inside glimpse into one of the most influential lives of the twentieth century and the lessons Mother Teresa continues to offer. Upon Poplin's return, she soon discovered that God was calling her to serve the university world with the same kind of holistic service with which Mother Teresa served Calcutta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot everyone can go to Calcutta.
