Ever wondered about what it would be like having a bleeding disorder in an under-developed country?

Ever thought about what it would be like to sleep, cook, and survive in the poorest places around the globe?

Ever wanted to challenge your ideas, your values and your physical abilities?

Here's your chance:

Join your friends with bleeding disorders for a weekend of fun, education and life changing experiences.

At the Global Village, we'll actually live in simulated corners of the globe, including Thailand, Nepal, Rural America and an Urban Slum.  We will prepare a meal, spend the night, barter for food and experience life with a bleeding disorder in under-resourced countries.  We will finish the experience with a high-ropes adventure. 

Will it be hard?  Probably. 

Will it be fun?  Most likely.

Will it change your life?  Guaranteed.
