Each week, on e American family spends 10 days with a local household in a remote Third World village, participating in its custom and livelihood to experience first-hand how the other half of the world lives.

Chris and Susan Palmer (arrows) and their children enjoyed their experience and have made it a point to stay in touch with the Orgubas. "It's really important for people to do things like this, to take a step outside of their lives," says Susan. "It's expanded my horizons and made me see the world in a different way." The show airs Nov. 10.
