Cashibo (mission)

Cashibo (mission)

s apart.

The part of Cashibo that is referred to as the Swiss Mission is a base of "Indicamino" about 3 kilometers away from the main road, the Carretera Federico Basadre, which leads from Pucallpa to Lima. "Indicamino" is an Evangelical Mission that has worked for fifty years in Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. The people working there are mostly European (Swiss and German), but there are also several Peruvian workers. The main goal of the Swiss Mission is to teach the Bible to different students from all over Peru, so that they can teach the Gospel to their own people. But at the base of the Swiss Mission natives can also get an education in the areas of carpentry, cattle breeding, and mechanics.
