AsalaamzWW,

Is there anyone here who lives in the West who contributes anything postive towards the wider society either individually or collectively through an organisation?

Things such are raising funds for say the local hospital that everyone in the community uses, few hours per month helping out at local homeless shelter, fundraising to donate benchs for local park, help raising funds for local childrens play areas, teaching something like say maths to kids on a voluntury basis at local community centre etc.

What sort of advice can you give to others who may wish to get involved in such? How did you go about it? What was the response from the muslim community and wider non-muslim community? Any interesting stories/expereinces?
