| “A program that targets education of children has a very significant role in contributing to the economic development, political empowerment and the social mobility of the population of a country in the developing world” Professor Sam Blay Professor of Law, University of Technology, Sydney |
| “The commitment of young Australians such as yourselves in taking concrete steps to help alleviate poverty in the developing world is to be commended.” Genevieve Poole Advisor to the Honourable Julie Bishop MP Australian Federal Minister for Education, Science and Training |
| ”In a world where so many problems seem intractable, just too hard too tackle, initiatives like 40K are singularly inspiring because they demonstrate how just a very few people with enough passion, and belief, really can make lasting changes for the good. The very least that the rest of us can do is get behind them and throw whatever support we can to their wonderful cause. I say, more power to them.
