She ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned and dying for over 45 years and earned the nickname Saint of the Gutters. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980. In 1996 she was proclaimed an Honorary Citizen of the United States of America by an Act of Congress. Following her death Pope John Paul II beatified her and gave her the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

AA
Refers to Alcoholics Anonymous, a 12-Step program for alcoholics who desire to stop drinking and achieve sobriety. The program is usually considered to have been founded on May 12, 1935, the day that Bill W. and Dr. Bob S., two alcoholics, met for the first time and related their stories to each other. By the 21st Century, A.A. had grown to over 2 million members and 100,000 groups worldwide.
Since the founding of A.A., 12-Step programs have been used to create hundreds of different fellowships, the two most recognizable likely being for drug addiction (Narcotics Anonymous / N.A.) and problem gambling (Gamblers Anonymous / G.A.).
