Atidze the Honeyland Hero
Donation protected
The superhero from the documentary movie Honeyland, nominated in two categories in the Oscars and still one rare wild beekeeper has a simple wish- to fix the old house that is given to her from the movie directors as a gift . She lives in Dorfulija, small village in the municipality Lozovo and still goes up in the mountains to take care of her bees. Atidze, doesn't have any pension or work and all the government promises for employment disappeared. I visited Atidze in September , she is humble and loving person and she deserves to have better future. So far she lives from the social government which is ( not sure but around 80-100usd per month) that is not enough. When the movie toured around the world made every Macedonian proud, now it's our turn to surprise her with small gesture. She loves people and every living being- lets make her heart sings of joy, because she is the most simple and unique person with enormous positive energy I have ever met.
