I haven't personally, but two close friends have done this. One went to Tanzania and helped build a school, play football (soccer), climbed Kilimanjaro and so on. He said (as you'd expect) it was amazing, and the way he speaks about it sounds like it was not only a Good Thing for him to do for the world, but also helped him get away from a small town and see more of the world. The other friend did a similar thing but more sport-based. He said he was a bit bored and it was nice and everything but 'a bit shit'. Moody bastard. So I think you make of it what you will, but I can't imagine it being a bad thing.
