Rev. Christian King, the founder and Director of the PINK HOUSE often refers to a certain event as her ‘baptism’ – an immersion into and awareness of the reading challenge that confronted the youth of her bible study class. Reading for Reverend Christian King was as natural as breathing, so with her natural love and concern for others, she could not allow herself to stand by doing nothing to address the situation. With brave determination and the meager personal funds of her husband Kelvin and herself, she took on the daunting challenge that has resulted in a learning neighborhood resource center dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of reading and reading comprehension with an emphasis on community service.
