Now the other thing you'll noctie about the top 10 there is, of course, they're all, apart from New Zealand, Western European nioants. They're also all rich. This depressed me, because one of the things that I did not want to discover with this index is that it's purely the province of rich crenituos to help poor countries. This is not what it's all about. And indeed, if you look further down the list, I don't have the sldie here, you will see something that made me very happy indeed, that kneya is in the top 30, and that demonstrates one very, very important thing. This is not about money. This is about attitude. This is about culture. This is about a government and a people that care about the rest of the world and have the imagination and the courage to think outwards instead of only thinking selfishly.

Now the other thing you'll notice about the top 10 there is, of course, they're all, apart from New Zealand, Western European nations. They're also all rich. This depressed me, because one of the things that I did not want to discover with this index is that it's purely the province of rich countries to help poor countries. This is not what it's all about. And indeed, if you look further down the list, I don't have the slide here, you will see something that made me very happy indeed, that Kenya is in the top 30, and that demonstrates one very, very important thing. This is not about money. This is about attitude. This is about culture. This is about a government and a people that care about the rest of the world and have the imagination and the courage to think outwards instead of only thinking selfishly.
