If you had :

[R3FL3CT]

If you had four hours to make money : all you were given was a long table and four hours in a public place to make as much money as you could for charity > What would you do?

[WahYaLookin'At?]

Sing.

[R3FL3CT]

Something halal : bearing in mind that the suggestion should be suitable for both brothers and sisters. Some people believe a womans voice is part of her awrah.

[ajnabee]

Sing.

You're so depressing, *Cries in the corner*

Food and drink, everyone likes food (cakes biscuits) and drink (Hot and cold)

Stationary,

[Omar Mukhtar]

that's a hard question.

Oh, darn itttttt

I never read properly!

Then erm.. I duno, sorry.

[R3FL3CT]

:jkk: everybody. I like the last idea : although I'd like to know how you'd make the most of the situation : how much would you charge for a game? 20p maximum is not going to produce great results.

And I did say all you have is one table : I meant one table onto which you can bring anything to sell.

Kerching!

20p isn't enough, say 50p, you'd be surprised how much allowance kids get these days,

You can print out papers of pictures and sell them to kids to colour in and stuff,

Get boxes of Crisps (cheaper to buy in bulk) leave them under the table, so kids and adults get attracted and then bada bing, wait for the money to come rollin' in!

[R3FL3CT]

:jkk: brother : keep brainstorming : its helping.

[WahYaLookin'At?]

I'd put one of these on the table:

http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11196988/Rotator_Hookah_Sheesha.jpg

But it may be anti Islamic?!

How about fresh flowers? They can be expensiveeee,

For the sisters you can put out jewellry, head scarfs (pins),

Multi-media: CD's etc etc

Or random crap, sisters buy rubbish, for real!

[Pippin1376]

I'd let them watch me play my DS or read. We can have a wifi party and play Mario Kart!

[R3FL3CT]

You would have to buy all the things beforehand that you were selling in that case : and if you were loaded enough to buy jewellry to sell : I'm not so sure you'd be standing there raising money, rather you'd take money from your back pocket and donate already.

[ugh]

Facepainting/henna art/simple natural manicures, do u know any1 with skills in any of those things?

[R3FL3CT]

Henna art is good : There is some difference in opinion regarding face painting and since we have been told to say away from that which causes doubt : I think it'd be a good idea to :insha: keep the ideas coming :jkk:

[Stylish-Girly]

i'd step up, crack jokes and chat bare

Get friends/family 2 donate unwanted ornaments, books or toys, is that deemed tacky? Any idea of what type of customers will be there?

Sister thats a great idea and one that I also had : problem is, from where to get a decent badge maker?

[GuCcI]

well if its for charity then get a whole bunch of you and friends to make food and just sell it. people pay well for food...

you have to put in something to get something out of it

[angel*]

Errm if dont wanna sing how about bring in some dhol people if its in like an asian place?

Me and freinds have raised money before by doing henna on people alternatively you could perhaps do magic tricks for the younger audiences?
If your any good at art, why not draw/paint drawings or paintings? (keeping in mind you 'have' to be good at that stuff for people to want to buy them)

[Stylish-Girly]

Awww shame must've discontinued it

You could make frames, like print out islamic poems and put a nice background so it looks good then frame it, they cost around £1 and bulks may be cheaper, i bought one for a couple of quid last year i think £4 not sure but they were selling good, it was about the hijab.. Good luck wit it least you gettin somewher :fairy:

[Ibrahim70]

How about plants and flowers? Grow any in your garden that you could sell?

Ask your Mum first though!! lol :p

cakes :D everyone loves cakes, theyre cheap to make in bulk, approx. less then £1 per cake for ingredients including fruit , and here they charge £10 for a whole cake and an apple or straberry tart is £ 12 in the bakers so id sell them at £ 8 a pop and ppl would think they were getting a good deal for delicious homemade cakes with no artifical ingredients or colours, also would sell jars of homemade chuntneys and jam again very cheap to make, just fruit and sugar, and u can pick up windfall apples on the roads here, major profits to be made from good quality home cooked goods insha Allah and all for a days work the day before :up: set up just before lunch time when all the workers are hungry and any left over go into the office buildings to sell them insha Allah.

Since it's a public place and rent out the long table for picnics and charge them per hour. Zero efforts, zero investments. Once I have the money, I'll start thinking about something different for the next day..... ;)
