Sister Soeur Emmanuelle
by Ben Heine
Painting
Though unorthodox in her religious views, Sister Soeur Emmanuelle was steadfast in her dedication to serving the poor. She was so moved by the impoverished conditions of trash collectors in Egypt, she decided to live among them for the next 22 years. Widely loved and admired throughout France and Belgium, Sr. Emmanuelle laughed off comparisons to Mother Theresa as "ridiculous."
