As part of Camp Raven’s event, over 500 participants took part in a 7-kilometre marathon in Thimphu. The race started from Dechencholing at 8 in the morning and finished off at Changlimithang.
His Majesty the King had initiated the Camp Raven in 2012 to give the children of armed force personnel in Thimphu an opportunity to spend their winter vacation productively.
The participants were taught art, crafts, dance, photography, martial arts and films at the camp. They were also engaged in various sports.
Volunteers from Thailand and France, as well as from Bhutan, participated as resource persons and teachers. The Camp is held at RBA, RBP and RBG grounds, and coordinated by officers of the respective locations.
The three-week program will end on 15th of this month.
