Rita Nagy-Portik, a Hungarian originally from Transylvania in Romania, is a farmer. She trained as a geriatric nurse through Caritas and now works part-time in Switzerland. Every three months, she alternates with a colleague from her home village to provide 24-hour care for an elderly woman near Zurich. We visited Rita in her hometown of Remetea.
