In Give Those Gifts, Karrie Ortale shares the details of why she started her program by saying: She was amused by the international students who walked out of her lectures every few weeks, having extracted a few inspirational stories about how difficult their lives were, without having done anything to contribute to the university or to humanity, in general. She vowed to make international students contribute something of value to society through service learning before they advanced to the next level of their degree. Ortale started her organization, Give Those Gifts, after she had already finished her degree. The main purpose of her program is to provide international students with a method by which they can fulfill the graduation requirement of 10 hours of service learning before they complete their degrees. Using her experience as a participant in the UGA Teach Abroad program in Bathsheba, Uganda, volunteers work in public schools, tutoring young children to improve their reading skills and their English abilities, buying AIDS materials to distribute to local schools (the HIV rate among school-aged children is increasing rapidly) and visiting children in hospitals. Volunteers are also asked to spend fifteen hours a week outside the classroom on personal development and inquiry. After the Living and Learning Experience program concluded, Ortale sent out a survey, and found that 9 out of 22 students would not have completed the program had it not been for the service learning requirement. Two thirds of those students also did not major in service learning. But overall, Purpose, Language, Independence and Creativity were the top reasons that many of the participants gave: the top three reasons students gave for continuing on in the program.
