What is happening in the picture, what do you see, what do you think the story might be?

Reginald Widener took this photo of a waiter at Cinco De Mayo Mexican Grill in Georgia, USA helping a man who has no hands, to eat his dinner. The waiter, Alex Ruiz, overheard the man asking for help and sat with him, chatting and helping him to eat for 30 minutes till the meal was finished.

Widener posted the picture on Facebook and wrote, "Still good people in the world".

Later, Alex Ruiz was interviewed by CNN about the incident and said, "I saw a man who needed help.... it makes me happy to help people." Later Alex said he didn't ask how the man had lost his hands because he didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. 


- Why is the waiter helping the man?
-  How do you think the customer felt when he entered the restaurant?
- Alex waited till the man asked for help, why didn't Alex approach the man and offer help when he first entered the restaurant?
- How do you think the customer felt when Alex Ruiz sat with him?
- What does this show us about Alex?
- What do you think this story shows us about people around the world?
- Why didn't Alex ask the man about his hands? What do you think they talked about for 30 minutes?
- Do you think Alex agrees with "No Outsiders"? Why?
- Would this happen in our school?
- Which British law is this story about (Disability is in The Equality Act 2010)
- Which British value is this about?

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money. Paul asked his Mun to set up a Go Fund Me page to raise $3900 for a new chair. In 26 days the page had raised $5935! Kamden's mum said, "What really contributes to their friendship is that Paul does not see Kamden as someone who has a disability. He sees him as Kamden. Because of that, Ka...

Did anyone say, "We have skin that is a different colour so we can't hold...
