Where: Ubuntu Education Fund
Why: Free for volunteer work.
Comment: I first learned about Ubuntu Education Fund through volunteering with One Brick. Since then, I've volunteered with Ubuntu several times, and has become one of my favorite places to work.
Ubuntu Education Fund came about in the late '90s from a chance meeting between two strangers who had a common dream of helping the children of some of the poorest communities in South Africa overcome Apartheid's legacy of poverty, disease, and inequality through education and community based on the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which loosely translates as the idea that "a person is a person through other people."
(And now you can brag about knowing what the word actually means at your next nerdy Linux party :p)
David Letterman's involvement unclear.
