Rain clouds and chilly winds were no match for the warm heart of Paul Manyok Saturday morning, Oct. 6, as a crew of Habitat for Humanity volunteers began building a new house for him and his family. Manyok, a 2011 Lipscomb graduate, is one of the Lost Boys of Sudan creating a new life for himself in Nashville. He came to the United States in September 2003 and became a U.S. citizen in 2008.

The Lost Boys Foundation reports that 20,000 young boys left their families and homes in South Sudan in 1987. “Wandering for years, they walked more than a thousand miles, half of them dying before reaching a Kenyan refugee camp,” the Foundation’s website explains.

Despite shivering in the chilly 46-degree weather, Elizabeth Manyok, Paul’s wife who is also Sudanese, wore a beaming smile as she waited on the street in front of where her family’s home will stand. Using her husband as a translator, she shared her appreciation. “I thank Habitat for Humanity, Wells Fargo bank, THDA and all of the volunteers that have...
