I was a volunter of AID in USA and from my personal experience, I can say that not only AID does good work but the experience with them is also very rewarding.
Let me clear that since its a voluntary org, no payment is involved, u work cos u want to work and help.
Bit of history
AID was started in 1991 by Ravi Kuchimanchi on whose life movie Swades was based. AID started in US, mainly as a fund generating organization; the money collected was then used to help fund the NGOs back in India on project basis. AID now has more than 50 chapter worldwide, including 40 in US and about 10 in India.
As the organization is expanding, people have understood that they need to grow more and more in India because that is where the action is ultimately happening, thus the efforts are in progress to have more and more chapters in India.
more information can be obtained at AID website which you can acess through google (just typoe Association for india's development in google, the very first link is wht u r lukin for) I cant write the wesite add here as rediff doesnt allow this.
I am sure u will surely finding something of ur interest.
Good initiative by rediff hope it results in some good work as well.
