BLIND Inc.'s The Buddy Program teaches visually impaired children valuable skills for navigating the world

12-year-old Katie Fritz gets off a metro transit bus in South Minneapolis.  During a day in The Buddy Program, which is a three week program designed to teach visually impaired children useful skills, Fritz rode the bus to and from the University of Minnesota.












11-year-old Jamison Christopher, right, learns computer skills at the Pillsbury Mansion in South Minneapolis. Instead of requiring a monitor, the visually impaired children use an audio speaker that verbalizes their actions in order to keep track of their work.
