The winners of the BBC's Race Across the World have pledged
£10,000 to help the street children they came across as they travelled through
South America.
On Sunday, viewers saw uncle and nephew Emon and Jamiul
Choudhury win the 54-day race by just 20 seconds.
They pipped husband and wife Rob and Jen in a nailbiting
finish.
Emon and Jamiul immediately promised half of the £20,000
prize to charities after seeing children sleeping rough in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
They have since also reportedly decided to give £5,000 to
Emon's family orphanage in Bangladesh.
"We decided at Sao Paulo that if we were to win, we'd
donate at least half of the money to help the kids of Sao Paulo and of
Brazil," Emon told BBC Breakfast on Monday.
