Comparing "indoctrination" camps is not what I mean when I speak of the effects and contributions of Christianity to the children of the world's nations.
Both camps for all intents in purposes were founded to cater to people who were already affiliated with their respective worldviews.
Nor am I concerned with what Christianity has done in the way of its attempts at evangelization.
To give an example of what I mean I refer you to the following:
Save the Children.
This large relief agency was founded by Eglantyne Jebb who also campaigned for social reform in this area. The Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by the League of Nations as well. She also pioneered the Child Sponsorship program.

This is the kind of evidence I am talking about. I am talking about men and women who refuse to talk about the problems of humanity and actually did something about them and lived in accordance with what Christ taught i.e. that we should love one another and take care of the orphan and the widow and the helpless.
