Giving a shirt to a homeless man

Joey Resto was riding a New York subway when saw a another man shivering in the cold. It is January 2016 and temperatures are close to freezing yet the shivering man has no shirt. Joey approaches the stranger and takes off his own shirt, helping the freezing man to put it on. Before sitting down, Joey also places a hat on the mans head. 

The interaction was filmed by passenger Lazaro Nolasco who put the clip online where it has been shared more than  200,000 times.

What's happening in the picture?

Explain the story

- The temperature outside was almost freezing so Joey must have known he was going to be cold as he got off the train; why give up his shirt to a stranger?
- The stranger and Joey have different skin - is this a problem for Joey? What does this show about Joey?
- Did Joey check what faith the stranger practised before giving up his shirt? Why not?
- How do you think the man felt when a stranger gave up his shirt for him?
- What can we learn form Joey?
- What does this show about people all over the world?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders?
