A few people walk up to the left side of the car, where the driver’s window is already rolled down.
They ask if he wants a free bottle of water.
The driver says no, thanks, he already has his own.
And the group standing on the corner moves on to offer water to someone else.
Bhatti works for Merrill Lynch, and is one of the people handing out free bottles of water.

Islam is a religion of altruism and you can do it in a simple way as handing out water.”
