Is there a forum or thread that would be most appropriate for talking about bike-related volunteer work? like people working to repair bikes for poor folks, or people in 3rd world countries, or stuff like that?

I volunteered with "Spokes to Folks (http://www.spokestofolks.com/)" today and had a blast working on bikes and helping people out.. would love to hear about what other people are doing with bikes to help others

Good for you!! Generosity is a virtue. Some people live life as if money is an end in itself as opposed to money being a means to certain ends.

I don't know how some college campuses are doing it, but at UCLA there are relatively free bike services offered a few times a year. Students are generally low on funds.
