Orphan Nellie
Mother Teresa recently picked up four infants for adoption from a relief camp in Assam, but relatives fearing that the babies would be converted to Christianity, snatched three of them back. Mother Theresa named the unclaimed orphan Nellie. Nellie was at the scene of the worst carnage in the violence that swept the north-eastern state of Gauhati, India, last February and March. Some 1300 people died in that village alone, with the total toll for the area reportedly topping 3500 and several thousand left homeless. — Gauhati.
