5 septembrie: Ziua Internațională a Carității. De ce a fost aleasă această dată și ce legătură are cu Maica Tereza

International Charity Day is observed on September 5, commemorating Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who passed away on this date in 1997. The UN established this day to raise awareness and mobilize support for those in need through charitable actions and volunteerism. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, focusing on helping the poor and vulnerable. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work and was canonized in 2016. The day encourages individuals and organizations to engage in charitable activities, emphasizing transparency and community needs.
