  For Central Florida's growing Latino population, 'welcome workshops' are invaluable tool
  For the newcomer there is so much to figure out - housing, jobs, schools, transportation, not to mention the language and culture of your new town."
  
  In 2014, Gamalier Roche was a 26-year-old newlywed with a 1-year-old son when he decided to move to Central Florida from his native Puerto Rico looking to provide a better life for his family. He left his wife and baby boy behind while he settled in his new home in Orlando. The culture shock was instantaneous.

  "I had visited Orlando as a tourist and for business conferences," he said. "But living here is very different. It's the little things, like how in America life is very individualistic, people live inside their homes, and how many hours people work."
  
  Roche began working at his cousin's print business, who suggested he attend a workshop hosted by local entrepreneur Sami Haiman-Marrero.
  
  "That night changed my life," said Roche. "I got a crash course on America."
  
  Roche got practical advice about rental and home prices, car insurance and good area schools. "The most important thing I realized that night was that if I didn't get a job with a good future, I would never be able to bring my wife and baby or have enough money to buy a house."
