[Hall, Leam]

Yeah...

We're looking at a trip to Romania to help with marginalized groups. Much shorter but as life impacting.

Go to idealist.org

Search Jobs/Volunteer

Take a gig in India/Tibet/Nepal  for 6 months.

Probably will change your life, for the rest of your life.  Then come back and write code. But it will be different. Guaranteed.  

One of many gigs (zillions) on Idealist.org:

>>>
Teaching English to Tibetan Children 
The Jyekundo area ("Yushu" in Chinese) is one of the most remote Tibetan regions with Tibetan culture very much intact. Volunteers are given a very special opportunity to improve the lives of Tibetan children while also learning about and immersing in Tibetan culture.

>>>
Nepal Volunteer Locations: Langtang Although only 150 km and around 12 hours North of Katmandu, Langtang is one of the most remote areas of Nepal.
