I am considering doing something like this. I really want to see and experience africa and help the people. What would you recommend to a 29 yr old who wants to go back to school and eventually help in third world countries? I am leaning towards engineering but what engineering fields do you think would have the most benefit for the people there?

Currently I work on the help desk for a managed service provider where we manage small and medium business' IT networks. I'm a self taught computer tech so I don't think my skills would be of any use in the third world. 0I graduated High School when I was 17 and had no direction in life and dropped out of college after my first year but now I feel like I really want to help the world somehow. I want to go back to school to learn western technology so that I can somehow adapt it to help third world countries.
