MACF Congratulates RISHI NAIR - WINNER 2016 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC BEE

Malayalee Association of Central Florida (MACF) proudly congratulates Rishi Nair of Seffner, Florida, a 12-year-old sixth-grader at Williams Magnet Middle School, for Winning the 28th annual National Geographic Bee held today at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In addition to earning the title of National Geographic Bee champion, Rishi received a $50,000 college scholarship and a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society. He will also travel (along with one parent or guardian), all expenses paid, on a National Geographic eight-day adventure to Southeast Alaska aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion, including a stop at Glacier Bay National Park, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.

In addition, Nair's parents have promised him a new iPhone, a trip to Switzerland (he's been learning German), and a golden retriever puppy. "I'd like to thank my mom for [helping me prepare] and for everything she's done since I was born," Nair said after his big win. "I love you, mom," he said, before biting his medal.

MACF congratulates RISHI NAIR and his parents on our local Malayali 12 year old becoming the National Geographic Bee Winner. Cheers to a bright future for all our kids. Watch the competition on the National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo WILD at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Friday, May 27
