Jewel Bazilio-Bellegarde had devoted years to a Maryland nonprofit founded to help the people of Haiti after a devastating 2010 earthquake.
to a Maryland nonprofit founded to help the people of Haiti after a devastating 2010 earthquake, and her recent efforts were about to pay off. On Monday, children in a remote village of that country would attend a summer camp, which Bazilio-Bellegarde had helped fund and supply.
Brice-Mesilus, along with a relative of Bazilio-Bellegarde, said family members and fellow volunteers are devastated. In interviews, their thoughts quickly turned to the children of Haiti, particularly those Lebrun Village, about 80 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince and reachable only by a two-hour hike from the nearest main road, where the start of summer camp is fast approaching and their most faithful advocate is now gone.
The CEO said Bazilio-Bellegarde embraced the saying, “We do whatever we can with whatever we have.” Those who knew her said she found ways to relax with the simplest of things: drinking garage on Reservoir Road NW. They said a woman driving a 2011 Audi Q5 was trying to make a three-point turn when she accelerated toward a wall. She tried to avoid striking the wall but instead drove toward a the valet station, police said.Authorities said their investigation into the crash is continuing and no charges have been filed. Police declined to identify the driver, who they said remained on the scene.
