2PM’s Nichkhun is shocked by people’s life in Tanzania

In October, 23 volunteer workers, ten medial workers from the Severance Hospital, actor Park Sung Woong, actress Lee Tae Ran, actor Kim Hyuk, and 2PM’s Nichkhun and Taecyeon went to an island in Tanzania and did volunteer work for two weeks.
When the volunteer group arrived in the island, which is five hours away from Dar es Salaam, one of the economically developed cities in Tanzania, they had to undergo a difficult time because they had to cross a mud flat with backpacks.
2PM’s Nichkhun and Taecyeon also had to cross the mud flat.
Besides, a problem happened in the distribution of daily necessities, and they had to make their own daily necessities with twigs and plastic bottles.
They also had to stay in tents on a sandy ground for two weeks. Because of lack of water, they had to live a day with 1.5 liter of water.
Nichkhun especially realized how important water is in our life as he personally went out to get some water for the volunteer workers. Sailing the river for eight hours looking for water, he also had a difficult time as the boat stopped in the middle of the river.
Nichkhun says, “I was surprised by the fact that people in this island have to ride on a boat for eight hours to get water. I want to help the people who suffer from lack of water and electricity.”
