You could open a place in Basel selling bubble tea and some of the snacks from Shilin night market.

It might not be popular but you'd get enough to scrape a living just from one customer. Me.

I think Tom73's suggestion is a good one - concentrate on your skills, which at first glance are you being a dermatologist and the fact you can maybe teach people some Mandarin (if you know pinyin). If you want to learn German then maybe Chinese/German language exchange would be the way to go.

Not too sure about volunteer work, but I went to the "Welcome to Basel" thing at the town hall last night (I arrived a few weeks ago) and they did mention that there are volunteer organisaions however I didn't pick up any info on them unfortunately.
If I haven't come up of anything in the end, I'll give it a serious thought of opening a teashop, and you'll be the first one to be invited, the guest of honor :-)

I'll go to Zurich town hall to see if there's anything possible for me if I haven't found anything online before I arrive at Zurich. Thanks for the tip!
