“This was the first time, we asked them to do a bit of research in addition to the training they’ve had from us, and for them to exhibit such performance need to be applauded,” she said.
Mrs.Brew-Hammond expressed her appreciation to all the stakeholders who helped in training the contestants and sponsors for being there for them.
