"Forming the group Giving Gardens this year, Ms Campbell and six others will build gardens at two Cambodian shelters to help the victims' recovery and financial situations.
To better fund their passion project, Giving Gardens filmed a five-minute video on Saturday for a chance to receive the Project Inspire grant of $25,000 from the United Nations and Mastercard.
"I'm confident we can make the top 10," Ms Campbell said.
"Then it's up to the public across the globe to vote for the video to win.
"Whether we win or not, the project will definitely go ahead and we'll return to Phnom Penh in January." "

High yield, low maintenance gardens, along with a sensory garden in each will provide agricultural training, financial literacy skills and income generation
opportunities for survivors wishing to return to their rural communities.
