I would jump at the chance... (Score 1)

For the past few months I looked for a project similar to what you are describing. I know there are dozens of ways for a person to help out, volunteering at a food kitchen, cleaning a park, etc, but those were things anyone could do. I want to work on a project that needs my skills and will be socially rewarding. Let engineers build bridges, let farms plant crops, I'll write software and help expand their horizons.
