"A single bee can't make honey but together they can make something extraordinary." Margret Haffermann

The Charlian Bees Association is a group of 30 bustling bees dedicated to serving one another and spreading the message of hope and joy all around. The Charlian Bees Zonal Convention was held at Mary Immaculate Girls’ High School in Shivamogga. Twenty energetic bees bustling with excitement and anticipation stepped forward to take part in this convention. The theme for the year 2023 - 2024 was ‘Charlian Bees : Pilgrims Of Hope’. The bees were accompanied by their animators Sr. Shanthi Crasta, Ms. Lydia Victor and Ms. Gladys Valentina. Sr. Dorothy, the Coordinator of Charlian Bees beautifully demonstrated the importance of hope. She enlightened us that a little bit of honesty, optimism and effort can go a long way to create hope in the life of others. The meaningful reflection was followed by a series of energizing games and quizzes to put to test the knowledge gained and the lessons taught. An array of wonderful performances was showcased by the different schools and it was much appreciated by the audience. This programme concluded with a thought-provoking message by the former Charlians. The Charlian Bees left the convention with precious values brimming to build a bright future for others.
