My name is Abdul Karimi, I am from Afghanistan and I am a subcontractor doing security and customer service for the World Trade Center.
I have become a part of Memorial Miles program in order to help raise funds and awareness for the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
On September 11, 2001, I was in school in Brooklyn. I was in the hallway when a friend told me what was going on. We looked out the window and saw the first building burning. We had to go to our next class, Of course, it was all anyone would talk about in the class. I am Muslim, and the teacher was saying some negative things about me- I didn't take it to heart because I knew that I was not involved that situation. When we came out of that class, both towers were gone.
For the Memorial Miles program, I sincerely hope that people get together, unite, listen, and understand how we can make progress from this situation and how far we can go- from New York to other states, all by word of mouth.
We can make this happen by doing the same thing every day, not thinking about the work, and just do it and see how far we can go!
