Is there a bug tracker on this project? Tracking down and fixing bugs will force you to become familiar with the codebase, and hopefully, expose you to code from which you can learn.
Also, find projects that you will use personally on a regular basis--i.e. "scratch your own itch". You'll do better work if the end result is not just some code somewhere, but something that you need and make use of frequently.
Two questions: 1) Can you tell us how the project to get Linux computer labs into every Mexican school is going, or how we can find out?
2) How would one find out about this and other opportunities to do Linux programming in Latin America, and maybe make a living wage there while doing it?
