Alternative Intercultural School
Cashibococha

​​

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, on the shore of Lake Cashibococha, a unique school is set to be built — a place where Indigenous children can learn the skills of their ancestors before they disappear forever.

The project is led by the Peruvian foundation Casa Sanango, founded by me, Otto Placht. For years, I have been connecting the world of the Amazon with our own. For the school to be built, the land on which the classrooms, studios, gallery, and an educational trail through the forest will stand must first be purchased.

Help us build Casa Sanango. Every contribution counts. If Indigenous children learn from their ancestors once again to hear nature, understand their language, and create, then one day they will save the mother jungle, the Earth — and perhaps even us. Become part of a story that brings hope.
