My friend did it
Many years ago my college mate went to Bangalore to ACTS Institute. He is a carpenter. I believe it is a religious organization with good reputation. He not only helped them he provided carpentery skills for people to make a living at it. Very rewarding and changed his life for ever.

You might want to check with http://www.aidindia.org/CMS/ . They're mostly looking for Tamil-speaking people (which you might consider learning in 18 months) but make exceptions for qualified professionals. See their basic URL http://www.aidindia.org/ too for possible other projects elsewhere, it's hard to predict how their Chennai projects will be faring 1.5 years from now.
