Jasmin KaltakWater Spider

What kind of job is "Water Spider"? Like the nimble insect, Jasmin Kaltak floats around the production floor, making 30-35 laps a day while eliminating work-flow obstacles (we figure he's walked about 620 miles in the last nine months).

But Jasmin's real story is below the surface. While in New Orleans, Jasmin celebrated his "second birthday" — the fourteenth anniversary of his release from a Serbian concentration camp in Bosnia in 1992. As a refugee of the chaos and destruction in the Balkans, Jasmin felt the suffering caused by Katrina deeply and wanted to help. He said it was like watching the same movie twice.

Why Jasmin likes working at Rejuvenation
Jasmin likes working at Rejuvenation because his supervisors respect him and he likes working metal. Jasmin also believe that the people are fun and friendly. He also likes how everyone sits together in the lunchroom at the factory.
