Meet Gina who runs a seafood restaurant where you can eat on the beautiful Weligama beach. Gina shared with me her story.....

As it turns out Gina was married and has four loving sons whom I can tell you are her pride and joy. Gina was in an unhappy marriage and one night moved away from her violent husband with the children and sought shelter with a male friend. In a fit of uncontrolled rage, Gina's husband attacked her with a very sharp knife slashing and severing the tendons leaving her partially paralysed in her left arm. This incident was enough of an incentive to leave her husband and now she works on the beach by day serving economically priced and delicious seafood. Gina explained to me that it is not about the price. Gina wants her customers to feel her heart when they eat her seafood. Utmost care is taken when her her all female staff prepare and present the food and the prices are incredibly good. Gina believes if her customers can feel her heart then they will come back and the money will take care of itself. The philosophy seems to work because customers are lining up to eat her wonderful fare till midnight every day of the week.

Gina is an overcomer, a lover of life and genuinely cares about others.....
