The NGO Mother Teresa Center (https://www.motherteresa.org/) together with the Mother Teresa Institute, among many other activities, promotes the life and work of the saint by preparing and publishing her original manuscripts and materials. Three publications have been published so far, and the fourth, a biography of Mother Teresa, is under preparation. For that reason, a research team from the Center is currently visiting Mother Teresa's hometown with a mission to get as much information as possible about her.
