Journey

 

    Undertaking a community-based research project is a rewarding experience that allows me to collaborate more with community members, address pressing issues, and create positive change in their surroundings. At the outset, identifying a suitable community-based research project requires careful deliberation and understanding of the community's needs and priorities. In my case, We chose to focus on origin and history of our chosen barangay and gather more information about our chosen barangay. 

     One of the major challenges I faced is that gathering of information about our chosen barangay and it's so hard to communicate with the people living there because they are all inside their houses but with the help of a local friend we had some ease in finding the right person.

Another problem I faced is the money, going to the place and going home. Despite the challenges I faced, the community-based research project taught me valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and community engagement. I learned the importance of building trust, fostering relationships, and empowering community members to be active agents of change.

The project also highlighted the need for inclusivity, transparency, and cultural sensitivity in research design and implementation.

     In conclusion, making a community-based research project is a transformative experience that requires dedication, perseverance, and a genuine commitment to social impact. By listening to the community, working collaboratively with stakeholders, and advocating for positive change, individuals can make a meaningful difference in their communities. The research process may be challenging, but the rewards of building a resilient, sustainable, and cohesive community are immeasurable.
