hey grafiske, it was a non-paying gig, but they did put me up in a little flat in the village, and i had a bicycle to get into the town when i needed stuff from the market. it was really rural, so pay wasn't really vital, since all i was paying for was food. i spent about a month there, and without the airfare, i spent about 400 bucks total. that includes hotels in bombay, N.D., bangalore, train transport, taxis, rickshaws, food, bric-a-brac, stuff...
one place you can start looking if you want to volunteer is in the back of lonely planet, or let's go... they have listings all over the country ranging from paying to non-paying stuff. you wont see anything specifically for graphic design needs but if there's something that interests you, contact them, and i'm willing to bet your work would be really beneficial. i did an ID system, brochure, and photographed a ton of surgeries to put together a sanitary guide for them... if you are in the south, i know a great group of people down there that would welcome you and your skills... just remember to bring a laptop!
