How generous is YOUR country? Burma is the most charitable while the UK and US drag their feet. The Charities Aid Foundation surveyed 150,000 people in 145 countries to compile its ‘generosity league.’ Those in Burma gave more money and time while citizens in Iraq were the most likely to help a stranger.

Burma was followed by far wealthier nations with the US in second place followed by New Zealand, Canada, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
