- Story Text: Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa has found new premises to care for the destitute "street sleepers" of Hong Kong. The hut in a former British army barracks in Sham Shui-Po, on the Kowloon Peninsula, will be used by the sisters of her Missionaries for Charity Order to care for some 800 casualties of the colony's capitalist system who sleep on pavements and in doorways. The premises were given to Mother Teresa by the colony's government in a special ceremony on January 16. The Albanian-born Roman Catholic nun had stopped in the British colony en route to China, where she will be a guest of the Communist government-sponsored Patriotic Catholic Church. Mother Teresa, who spends most of her time caring for the needy in Calcutta, India, had recently visited Ethiopia, where four of her homes set up ten years ago are giving food to 10,000 people every day.
