VIllagers in Kennington raised more than £16,000 for a charity which aims to help children who work in the carpet industry in Jharkand in India.
Jack and Margaret Ibbott
The money, raised by Kennington Overseas Aid, will be used to help children as young as five, who are sold into bonded labour in the industry.
Once they reach 15 or 16, they are released with no skills or education.
The money was handed over to Michael and Margaret Wright, of Integrated Village Development Trust, on Friday.
On the same day, a special water colour painting was presented to Jack and Margaret Ibbott, who have organised sponsored fundraising walks for KOA for the past 25 years.
