I live in Germany and I don't really think that studying somewhere else could be cheaper in any way. As German citizen, the semester fees range between 90 and 300 euros, already including public transportation in your university's area.
Based on your parents' income, Germany offers you an interest-free student loan to cover your living cost and the by far coolest thing about it is that you just have to pay back 50% of it afterwards, the rest is paid by the government after you graduated.

However, your story sounds so damn cool! I did an apprenticeship in banking and often thought about doing an microfinance internship in a third world country! If you ever write an article about your time over there, I'd be happy to read it!
