Drawing Challenge #6 - Peruvian Girl from the Andes

Hello friends of steemit, this is my entry to @helene contest, I am originally from Lima, Peru and I wanted to make my entrance to the contest exposing part of the culture and people of my country, portraying this girl from the city of Cuzco who is found in the sierra part of my country, that portrait with their clothes that they carry in the day to day generally that they themselves make in looms manuals with beautiful representations to the same style of as it was in the time of the Incas, the girl is he sees with his ram that is a little to what many families are dedicated to their survival, some usually subsist on the basis of their crops, others based on their crafts and some other families in the breeding animals, in some communities money does not exist, only the barter and ayni that is the exchange of products between them for their survival since each one has something that the other lacks, the ayni is also a very common practice that is something that already sees very little in the big cities that is the mutual aid between the families and neighbors, to what is called extended family helps so much to make a house, to sow or to harvest. 

 Unfortunately climatic changes cause drought and mortality of their animals and, on the other hand, the lack of control of the number of children in the family is sometimes a problem to be able to sustain them, because many times more children also means survival because will have more hands that help them, many of these families decide to migrate to the cities in search of a better future that sometimes does not turn out as you think and you see much as in large cities you see very young children selling their products in streets late at night some are brought from the mountains to the city with the promise to parents that they will be made study or work, something that often falls into exploitation of children, rather than a drawing I wanted to make known the life of many children which is sometimes more difficult than some adults and try to help where possible in order to help them from and as you can.
