Dmitri is a local fisherman at Tsonia who regularly interrupts tending his nets to rescue boats that are in difficulty whilst making the journey from Turkey to Lesvos. He helps bring them safely to shore. "What choice do I have" he said "there are small children on those boats". Sadly this duty isn't new to him; in 2006 he often did the same thing for refugees fleeing the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
