The day’s activities included
a photobooth, fun fair games organised by various Defence Academy
departments, lucky draws, fostering bonds among families, officers, and
staff. The event also featured a prize presentation for the winners of
the Weight Loss Challenge and the 140km Virtual Run, both organised for
DA RBAF personnel in celebration of the DA RBAF 14th Anniversary, held

the opening du’a, followed by Zumba session led by the Physical Training

well-being of its personnel.
