What is Physics Alive?
Physics Alive is a mini-project which aims to provide Physics
text books, revision materials and mentorship to high school students from
disadvantaged backgrounds. Unlike other mentoring programs which are general,
Physics Alive only focuses on one particular subject-Physics. Also, our aim is to teach students how to study for Physics and prepare themselves for the National Examination.
Why Physics?
Physics is Mother Nature’s language. In order to understand
our universe, we must understand the fundamental concepts of Physics. Students
from disadvantaged backgrounds do not have enough study materials and hence
they are locked out of competitive engineering courses.
Is Physics Alive a
certified organization?

Physics Alive is not a certified organization; it is a mini
project. I aim to raise funds through friendship networks. I will not hire
consultants or auditors to verify our collections. However, this does not mean
that there will be no accountability. The list of donors and the books bought
will be sent via email to anyone who requests it.
How are we different?
We are family! I talk to these students every day. They are
like my kids and just like a father; I want the best for them. Your donations will not go into buying books
for some “random” students. Secondly, no shilling will be wasted in “logistics”.
All the money will go directly to the students.
Will it make any
difference?
I strongly believe by the end of this project at least one
or two students will have been inspired. I am a volunteer Physics teacher at St.
Luke’s Kanunda Secondary School and it
is an amazing experience. You can feel the passion in the class. However, this
does not mean that I am overlooking other factors which affect the students’
performance.
How can I be part of
this family?
