   "I live and learn to share."

                      -Br. John

 Motivational Storyteller/Cultural Historian

   The mission of Rajpa Productions is to motivate, educate and empower, youth and families and with healthy, intra-personal communication and literacy enrichment skills. We support and produce enthusiastic, interactive storytelling concerts, and special presentations that encourage the power and timeless practice of the oral storytelling tradition.

    We believe storytelling:

   1. Develops effective listening and speaking skills.

  2. Builds relative connection between individuals and the community it serves.

   3. Healthy character values and vital lifeskills are illustrated and easily retained.

   4. Develops creativity and emphathy for others.

   5.  Develops a greater appreciation for one's culture-family heritage and the inclusiveness of others.

   6. An effective tool for handling and solving problems.  

   7. Develops healthy self-concept and personal esteem.  

  "There's something about storytelling. It has great healing capabilities."

   -Dr. Susan M. Lesnik, Ph.D
