Jasmina is the Woman Who Raises Sheep and Breaks Stereotypes in Macedonia
Jasmina is the Woman Who Raises Sheep and Breaks Stereotypes in Macedonia
The Kajak.mk team has dedicated the month of February to women heroes whose stories are of great importance for the development of tourism in Macedonia. Unfortunately, today we are faced with many negative reports from both domestic and global media, but our team believes in the people who carry humanity within them. These individuals help us in building a better community and convince us that by doing small good things, we will create a better tomorrow.



For those who haven't heard of the village, Suvodol is situated at an altitude of 700 meters, surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges, and boasts the highest number of sunny days in the year.
Jasmina shares that raising sheep has been a decades-old practice in her family. Her family originates from and lives in a rural environment, and the climate naturally encourages people to engage in agriculture and livestock farming in order to secure a livelihood.

"Although I grew up on a farm where I had the opportunity to interact with various kinds of animals, I never imagined that farming would become part of my daily life, and at the same time, my second profession," says Jasmina.
She has been actively raising sheep for 8 years and admits that working with them has changed her life. Now, she has a much different perspective on existence, with greater empathy and love for all living beings with whom we share planet Earth.








In conclusion, Jasmina says that in life, plans don't unfold the way we want them to. They happen independently of our will, and certainly not in the way we had imagined. However, life flows, and in that flow, we realize that what we once desired, we are living in the moment. The desired outcome has come to pass, just not in the way we thought it should.
