What’s happening right now is very real for all of us here.“We’re not just a story, we’re not just headlines. We’re people with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home.“There’s a lot of uncertainty and that’s the hardest part. All we want right now is to feel safe, to have clarity and to get home.”Reports state that the MV Hondius requested help from local authorities upon approaching the island of Cape Verde on Sunday, May 3.
