Creation of a Middle Class

One of benefits of a growing school and medical clinic is the ability for some to create paying jobs where once there were none. Teachers come from Gonnaives each afternoon to teach. Shining shoes and selling food to school members extend the bartering and selling of the market. Slowly, very slowly, the economy of Bayonnais has an opportunity to progress.
