There are many children at this hospital coming from the jungle or the Andes where there are no possibility to education due to poverty. Some of the children only speaks Quechua which is a language mainly spoken in the Andes. It was originally the language of Incas and nowadays about 8 million people still speak it. It is an official language in Peru but not many in the cities know how to speak it. There are many dialects and variations of this language, it depends on where the people come from. Quechua appears also atleast in Bolivia and Ecuador. It is difficult to teach or maintain the language because there are hardly any books, newspapers or television shows spoken in Quechua.
Blue color is the appearance of Quechua.
