Rolling Order out of Chaos

With the recent events that have happened in Haiti things have become quite chaotic. The earthquake destroyed many buildings and effected many lives. Many children lost their parents, many people have lost their jobs. However, out of this chaos, order can arise. We can take this opportunity to create jobs and opportunities for families in need to regain stability. This compound is designed for families with children that are in need. The parents can work in the wood shop, tobacco fields and tobacco barn while the children get an education. The children when they are old enough will be able to work too and learn from hands on experience too.
To create jobs and opportunities one element of the compound will be a furniture shop. In the early stages of the compound the furniture shop would be a small scale making things like simple chairs, small boxes and other things to help rebuild the country and support the compound.
Another thing the compound would produce, to help stimulate the economy and give Haiti an exportable good is growing Tobacco. In the early stages of the compound the tobacco would mainly be an exported good, but later the tobacco will be dried, processed then rolled into cigars.
The cigars can be sold to locals or exported. High end, hand rolled cigars can bring a lot of money, if they are paired with hand made boxes made at the same place as the cigars, it could bring even more money to help support the country and compound.
