We are a group of volunteers bound by the common goals. From 2013 till February 2022 our focus areas were Genocide prevention and raising awareness about the Holocaust in Ukraine. Since the start of the full-blown Russian invasion in Ukraine our main focus shifted to humanitarian support of families affected by the war. We are helping people near the frontlines and in recently liberated areas. We are also helping hospitals and orphan homes. During the first 12 months of the full-scale war we helped over 50,000 people with direct cash payments, food, medicine, heat, and transportation and clothes.

Dedicated to preserving and sharing Southeast Kansas coal mining history and its diverse immigrant culture.

This includes the story of the immigrants who came from the Little Balkan countries and beyond. A huge section of our population has a tie to the mining industry and we want our young people to understand the importance of their hard work, dedication and desire to acquire a better life for their families. The museum strengthens the spirit and sense of family and community for all of Southeast Kansas while providing educational experiences for all ages, from youth to senior citizens. • Museum exhibits are laid out to tell the story of a miner’s life from immigration through work, social life, home life, education and much more. ancestry & heritage, camp town histories, rare photographs, information on local strikes & labor reform, significant men & women of the twentieth century, the Amazon Army and the story of Bootlegging in SE Kansas.
