This is a wide ranging project to help a poor community on the outskirts of Galle, Sri Lanka. It's run by a local Sri Lankan who is a dedicated philanthropist. Basically, he needs volunteers with all skills. Whatever your skill, he will be able to put it to good use. So, have a look at his website. He needs everything from teachers to medics to people capable of teaching sports, builders, plumbers electricians and anything else you can think of!
