Join the conversation
Welcome to Sowers.
Sowers is a mission. We are bloggers, photographers, and movie makers coming together to take you on a journey of laying in front of you the realities of our society of our country and around the world – the good and the bad alike.
Here’s What we do
Our Mission
Sowers was started in our hostel room because we felt the need to start a discussion on things that were happening around us. It grew from there and we feel it more than ever that our society needs to have a civil discussion about everything happening. Whether in politics, education system, etc.
This is our mission statement.
To reach out to the youths and start a discussion and to become a platform that helps to share knowledge and wisdom about issues that affect our society.
