Gembara currently volunteers for the 9/11 Tribute Center Memorial Walking Tours in New York City at Ground Zero. The tours are led by those who were there: survivors, residents, recovery workers and family members. The tour volunteers provide a history of the World Trade Center, the attacks of 9/11, their own connections to the attacks and information on the rebuilding.
The 9/11 Tribute Center embodies the need to gather at the World Trade Center site, connect with the people, places and events of both February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001, and reflect. The center is a project of the September 11th Families' Association, a 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation.
