Albanians honoured Mother Teresa, a great missionary who operated mainly in India, because she was Albanian and this was a great testimony of the Albanian civilization. But in the same way we should honour the missionary Father Zef Valentine who is not Albanian but came and worked ceaselessly for the Albanians.
