I was used to make bracelets and sell to our neighbors when I was in elementary school. this was fun for us and we were always outside playing with other kids. We did not had internet or phone.
We were so social playing outdoor games. We even sell water in bazaar just to earn some cash.
Even I was registered in a private college and did not need money, my dad motivated me to earn money on my own and to see how hard it was.
Its good to remember those days.
In today's world and in Qatar I would suggest to join volunteering activities that you will meet people from different culture and will learn so much from them. Also you have so many things to teach them.
