Mother Teresa

       Mother Theresa healed a lot of sick people in India in her time.  What was missing in her humanatarianism was teaching them how to not get sick.  She did very little to help her village clean up the water, or dispose of filth properly.  Being Catholic, she did nothing to promote birth control among women, most of whom were extremely overburdened physically, financially and emotionally by birthing numerous children, even though childhood mortality is at a very high rate in India.  She should have read and practiced the old Chinese proverb "If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day.  If you teach a man to fish he will eat for a lifetime."   She could also have followed Dr. Frank Laubach's practice for literacy in a tribe in the Phillipines which goes something like "each one teach one"  to spread the message to as many people as possible.
