Giving Digest: Giving 100 Hours for the Trees

Environmental activist Patricia Faith Ariokot dedicated 100 continuous hours to walking around a single tree, using her time, voice and physical endurance to draw attention to environmental conservation, climate change and the growing threat of deforestation. Held at Tembuzi Cultural Fun Park in Sonde, Namugongo, the five-day challenge invited people to reflect on the essential role trees play in sustaining communities and protecting the planet. Her commitment demonstrates that giving can extend beyond financial contributions to include using one’s energy, platform and personal sacrifice to inspire action for a shared cause.
