Volunteer at your local hospital ( offer your services..if you're a Yoga teacher, teach free yoga! or offer Coaching/Counselling, cook a healthy snack or meal, or donate clothes/ bedding, or medicines to needy patients. etc.) Interact and help cancer patients and their families—maybe offer to drive patients to appointments, raise money with friends to provide care packages for hospitalised patients to uplift their mood.
