Barbara Weiss


My Name is Barbara Beatrice Nyambura Weiss, I was born in Nairobi, Kenya where I grew up with a family of ten children, two of them step-brothers where one passed away in 1991. My parents were working in Nairobi and this enabled all of us to attend school. My Father was working for Nestle's Products as a Salesman in East African Countries and my Mother was working for Nairobi City Council. I have gone throw many good and normal things in life but there was always something I was longing for, my heart was searching and longing for something in the infinity. I had also something else in me, which I never knew what it was, I never wanted to see anyone in this world surfering and when I met parking-boys in the streets of Nairobi while I was going to work I gave them all I had. I remember one time I left the office in Nairobi and I met one parking boy and took him home and my parents were  amused. They asked me what on earth are you doing with this child!!! Who is he and what is he Looking for here ?!!!! I told my Parents that I found the the boy in the streets and he is hungry, he has no place to sleep, and he has been leaving in the streets but now he has a mother and this is me I was at the age of 18 years-old. I told my Parents I will care for him and I will take him to school. I got to realise this longing feeling in my heart when I started with the Association. I came to learn the true happiness just to see a child, who really have nothing, knows nothing about life, being very happy in getting help from someone who she/he does not even know but knowing that someone is caring for them! Thanking the Almighty for sending them Angels who cares for them!!! This is a feeling I was confronted with as the Father of My daughter passed away in 1987. I could not stop feeling sorry for my daughter, and I could not imagine she will grow up without a father. I wanted to bring him back to life but I could not imagine that he was dead and that he will never come back in this Life.  I wanted to go there where he was and bring him back to life. I wanted to know what happens after he is gone. Will I ever see him again?? I had all these questions, and many others questions: like what is the World? Who are we in this World? What are we doing in this World? Who suggests which children will sufer and which not? Who decides who lives and who dies? These are many questions which I always had, but the most of these questions left me really empty as My Beloved Father passed away in the 1998. Then I knew that he will never come back and as I was going through this hard time, I travelled to Kenya after 7 years and this is when I saw others suffering: Children suffering, single mothers and as I came back to Germany I knew I will never get slept if I dont help If I do not go to the public and tell others what I have seen....
