If you'd like to cooperate with NGO projects, especially international 
NGOs, perhaps it would make sense to do so on a more concerted basis. I 
work with Save the Children Australia (among others) here in Vanuatu, 
and I'm nearly certain that they would be very interested in using tools 
like Edubuntu in a structured fashion throughout their operations.

Ig people like this idea, I'd recommend that someone with formal 
standing in the Edubuntu project (i.e. paid staffer) approach Save the 
Children, Oxfam and perhaps the UNDP to see if they would be interested 
in documenting and supporting widespread roll-outs in the developing world.

Sometimes it makes more sense to eat the whole loaf than to take a 
single bite. 8^)
