With almost a month left for the Holy Month to begin, preparations usually kick off around this time. Apart from the glitz of the season with grand Iftars and family gatherings, there is also the spiritual aspect to it, that many start preparing for beforehand.
During Ramadan, other than fasting, Muslims from all walks of life pay heavy emphasis on various types of charity and helping the needy in any way possible. Volunteering has become a big part of this, as many initiatives take place during this time.
