Jesse’s Journey: The Dutch Exchange Student Who Faced the Challenges and Joys of Working for the World’s Largest Recycling NGO

Ecobraz Emigre is proud to be the world’s largest project for electronic equipment recycling and CO2 offsetting. But behind the impressive numbers and global achievements lie stories of dedication, passion, and sacrifice. One such story is that of Jesse, a Dutch exchange student who devoted six months of his life to volunteering with our organization.

The Start of an Adventure:

When Jesse arrived in Brazil, he was full of expectations and motivation to make a difference. However, he soon discovered that working at Ecobraz Emigre was a challenge far beyond what he had imagined. From his first hours at the collection center to participating in awareness campaigns in local communities, Jesse felt firsthand the difficulties and the gratification that come with being part of something so grand.

The Challenges Faced:

As part of the world’s largest technological waste recycling project, Jesse found himself dealing with tons of electronic equipment, racing against tight deadlines, and managing the complex logistics of collection and recycling. He had to quickly adapt, work in a team, and maintain a positive spirit even in the face of the greatest challenges.

The Joy of Making a Difference:

But it wasn’t just challenges that marked his journey. Jesse also experienced the joy of seeing the direct impact of his work. Every device recycled, every ton of CO2 offset, every thankful smile received—it all made every moment worthwhile. Working with Ecobraz Emigre showed Jesse that, even far from home, it is possible to make a real difference in the world.

A Call to Action:
