What a great idea! Librarians Without Borders (LWB) was founded by the MLIS programme at the University of Western Ontario. Its mission:
LWB is an organization that strives to improve access to information resources regardless of language, by forming partnerships with community organizations in developing countries.
Their first project is in Angola, helping to develop a medical library. [PLGNet-listserv]

I went to Ethiopia with VSO (Volunteer Service Overseas) and automated a library in Gondar at the University of Gondar.
So if you want a resource person to discuss things with, it would be my pleasure.
