She is the busy coordinator at Gort Resource Centre, which is centrally involved in the town’s many festive events bringing newcomers and locals together. “I guess Gort has a well-established tradition of welcoming new people since people from Brazil first arrived in the 1990s to work in the local meat factory. They are now an integral part of our community,” Rozario say
