North South Foundation - Spelling bee

North South Foundation (NSF) is a volunteer driven non-profit organization established in 1989. There are lots of poor children in India who excel academically but need help to attend college. NSF is designed to encourage these poor children in India.  This year we established a NSF chapter in Tulsa to aid in this endeavor.

On April 9th the NSF Tulsa Chapter held the regional the Math and Spelling bee contest for the first time in Tulsa. There were a total of 54 participants for this contest. Significant achievements on this contest with their ranks are as below.
