Researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone. The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.

Exactly what is your mission, your job, in El Salvador? I'd like to hear something about what you do during your work time. Write about the local people and the village. What are you learning about the culture and the people?
