(BOMBAY, INDIA) -- Mother Teresa, world-famed missionary to the homeless and abandoned poor of India, visits with Miss Lamia Azize, Bombay Director of Catholic Relief Services who has assisted the nun in her charitable work for many years. The occasion of the visit was the opening of "Asha Daan" --meaning Gift of Hope-- a new center for the abandoned poor in Bombay staffed with the Missionaries of Charity. CRS, the official American Catholic agency for overseas relief and development, has channeled aid to Mother Teresa's works since the early 50s when the Yugoslavian-born nun founded the Missionaries of Charity to work among the poor, the leprous and homeless of Bombay. The present structure housing the Asha Daan center was the gift of the Hindustan Lever Company and will serve as a children's hospice as well as a refuge for the sick and dying.
