This is a cool initiative. I've always been a bit bummed that as software engineers, there tend to be less overseas volunteering opportunities than other forms of engineering. I'll be honest and admit that I just want to go to cool places and do work there. There's always lots of roles for civil and mechanical engineers, as well as doctors, but there's never much need for software engineers in the jungles of Cambodia or the beaches of the Solomon Islands.
