Kamvisi and other Lesvos residents were nominated for the assistance they offered to refugees. The award went to Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos for his efforts to end the half-century war with FARC rebels. Syria’s White Helmet volunteers were also among the nominees for their daring efforts to rescue civilians caught up in the country’s war. [Alkis Konstantinidis/Reuters]
