David Francois, the legend of Copenhagen

20151224_230230
A cold winter day I was in Kafa-x—a wonderful place to do activism in Copenhagen—, having dinner when a sweet short haired person, holding croissants and cakes on a plate, was talking to the crowd, asking whom would have joined him to go to bring those croissants to the people in street.
This scene was one of the most beautiful, interesting, and kind actions I have ever witnessed.
I didn´t go with him, neither I have seen anyone else going with him that night. I was so surprised by his act that I was speechless.

He was a lonely, legendary hero on a bicycle, with croissant and love as the strongest weapons. His flag was the rainbow flag, which included all colors and all the elements.
This action of bringing some snacks and humanity to those who are in the most vulnerable situation is what I have chosen to dedicate my life to:

He inspired hundreds and hundreds of people—if not thousands—his energy can be felt by all of us and we will never believe that he doesn´t exist anymore, I don´t believe it now and I will hardly change my mind in the future.
Alone, he went to talk to sellers in markets around Copenhagen explaining to them that there is something wrong in throwing away food while there are many that could get great benefit from it.
His reasoning was the philosophy of the abundance: if we share resources, we have fewer people hungry, the fewer people are hungry and the less they are keen to commit crimes.
He managed to get agreements for the donation of tons and tons of food.

Without his agreements, Foodsharing Copenhagen, would not even have been the same right now.
Lately, he was busy with a project based on creating low impact community accommodations in rural Denmark.
His personal life amalgamated entirely with his philanthropic projects.
He had thousands and one great ideas and hundreds of eco-social-revolutionary projects:
