REAP Stories
C&C is a convergence of my REAP and the vision of what I want to do in my life. The dream of running a socially-centered business started when I was still in college, the whole experience of studying in Melbourne gave me the business tools and technical know-how, and it was the REAP that crystalised and validated my dream to jumpstart C&C. - Monica Co, Master of Management (Marketing), University of Melbourne | co-founder C&C Home and Gifts
