This photo was taken July 9, 2011 in Tryavna, Bulgaria, with a group of four volunteers who were taking part in Peace Corps' 20th/50th anniversary activities. The photo depicts a team building activity we are preparing to perform, and I am explaining the directions and purpose of the game. The purpose of the game was for us to lower the metal rod to the ground together while maintaining contact with the rod. It sounds easy, but the rod had a tendency to mysteriously float upwards hence the name of the activity "Helium Stick".
