WASHINGTON, D.C. â Jennifer Savage, a Cecil County native who is a 1989 Bohemia Manor High School graduate, was serving as a diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Quito, Ecuador on Jan. 12, 2010, when she received orders from the Department of State in Washington D.C. to fly to Haiti and assist.
Earlier that day, the island country had experienced a 7.0 earthquake that destroyed hundreds of buildings, leaving approximately 250,000 people dead, roughly 300,000 others injured and about 1.5 million residents homeless.
A U.S. military plane transported Savage from Ecuador to the Dominican Republic, which comprises the other half of the island shared with Haiti, after she was given her assignment.
