"Congrats to Nandi Isaac of Macon

Congratulations to Nandi Isaac of Macon for being named Buddy of the Year by Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta Oct. 19 at the Buddy Walk! Nandi has developed her own “micro-enterprise”  where as the sole proprietor, she preserves people’s documents, special photographs and other things that people want to save. Nandi lives independently with roommates. She works hard at her business to realize the American Dream of owning her own place in the future. Nandi, although legally blind, participates in ice skating, bowling, basketball skills, equestrian and sailing! A Global Messenger for SOGA, she travels with her mother speaking to groups about self-advocacy and sharing her inspirational story."
