Update:

I've acted on the idea that any sysadmin job is better than nothing and 
applied for a MCSE course from a few companies that offer job guarantee 
with their courses  I've had one acceptance so far (with others 
pending).  I'm loathe to take any actions that further increase 
Microsofts coffers but it looks like my options are limited right now  :(

Actually I've made a few attempts to find such a scheme with Google. 
I'd be very happy to donate my time to a school or other non-profit 
organisation, especially if they were looking at setting up a Linux 
network, but I've only managed to find two such schemes are neither 
replied to my e-mails.  Any idea where I can find any active schemes 
that need volunteer sysadmins to get free software into schools and 
suchlike?
