I did 6 weeks of software dev work (mostly SQL Server, Access, Excel and VB) for a NGO in India that was organised through my university in Australia. Pratham is a group that helps provide education to Indian children who can't afford it. They have over 100,000 children in programs in Mumbai alone and manage to do a lot of good work without much resources. I can't speak for the organisation but I'm pretty sure anyone with some IT training would be welcomed with open arms as they really need some good systems in place to track the childrens' progress to make sure the classes are doing as well as they should.
I've got heaps more info should anyone be interested. get me on ssippe@hotNOSPAMmail@com
