A-MA-ZING!
I
had
the
absolute
privilege
of
staying
with
Mariyan
and
Dasun
at
their
home
for
a
week
in
August.
During
this
time
I
got
to
watch
these
absolutely
wonderful
people
physically
build
this
restaurant!!!
I
watched
Mariyan
do
all
the
painting
by
hand!
I
watched
Dasun
in
the
swelting
heat
nailing
the
roof
to
the
bamboo
support
beams.
I
watched
this
family
handmake
the
tables
and
chairs.
I
watched
his
siblings/cousins/aunties
chop,
slice
and
peel
the
vegetables.
I
went
with
Mariyan
and
Dasun’s
sweet
sister
in
a
tuk
tuk
to
Dambulla
to
get
all
the
veggies,
rice,
meat,
eggs,
coconut
oil
and
lentils
for
their
opening
on
Aug.
24th.
An
immeasurable
amount
of
love
was
poured
into
this
restaurant,
and
it
was
beyond
inspiring
to
witness!
You
can
taste
it
in
every
lentil
Mariyan
prepares
and
every
freshly
spiced
piece
of
chicken
Dasun
BBQ’s.
I
HIGHLY
recommend
this
restaurant-
go
for
the
food,
but
strike
up
a
conversation
with
Maryian
and
Dasun!
They
are
truly
so
kind
and
ask
them
about
staying
in
the
hostel
they
are
building!
They
personally
took
me
on
tours
and
to
places
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
see
without
their
help!
