AGI was founded on the basis of educating youth and adults about the needs of others around the world. While it may appear to be a ‘catalog’ that is useful for holiday gift-giving, schools can also use “My Shopping List for the World” as a curriculum supplement. Gift markets in schools or youth clubs provide real-world applications to learn lessons in math, science, world affairs, economics, as well as the character skills of team-building, organizing and accepting responsibility. The resurgence of service projects, combined with learning has the potential to go far beyond the requirement for community service that many programs and schools require. Using AGI materials effectively can change the attitudes and lives of people of all ages. According to the National Youth Leadership Council, a cycle of service learning includes reflection before the activity is begun, and post-reflection through discussion and writing assignments. When students are mentored and informed, they gain ‘emotional intelligence’ which is transferable to empathy, tolerance and understanding situations that are different from their own.
