Our Journey During CBR

Image
  Through surveys, interviews, and field observations, we gathered valuable information that shaped our findings. Analyzing the data allowed us to identify key patterns and propose meaningful solutions to the issue at hand. Despite facing challenges along the way, such as time constraints and data collection hurdles, our teamwork and perseverance helped us overcome them.

This was, however, surmountable due to the sacrifices made with our teamwork as we have experienced hurdles along the way but still managed to complete this process. As we finis...

Businesses  participate   in the celebration by offering special promot...
