My open air kitchens feed 2000 people a day

When the financial crisis hit Greece in 2009, Outlook Inspirations nominee Konstantinos Polychronopoulos was one of many people who lost their jobs and had their savings wiped out. Some lost their homes and ended up on the streets. But Konstantinos has found a way of helping those in need and restoring his own self-respect. He has set up soup kitchens which feed thousands and work on the principles of solidarity rather than charity.
