edit:

Thanks M: Some great ideas there and several things which I might not have considered. You have given us all much food for thought. I think you have it well covered.



There is also: sponsorships of overseas family members/orphans and sending letters of support, campaign letters to those in positions of authority via AI plus other orgs, etc. Support of Palestinian medical charities. Not throwing away any unwanted or even old item but donating it to some charity or someone in need. Charity in the home/extended family re: family care and support. Speaking truth even if it be against yourself -- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).



Sometimes a person may feels isolated or not part of a wider community which might affect their personal contribution.
