Educator Eduardo and LL Advisor Marcela Maso
A reaction 2007 from a new school in Argentina:
All their work there is quite important and their job is double: educate according to the curriculum and according to human rights and interests. I think they will be very active because, as Eduardo told us, Life-Link fits their aim of integrating feelings, thoughts and way of living. So, here's another school. /Marcela

"Life-Link´s ´Youth Peace Actions 2000+´ is a highly commendable initiative that promises to do much to promote communication amongst the world´s youth. In recognition of this and your desire for more schools to join the campaign, I have forwarded the manual to the Australian Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs. I wish Life-Link every success with ´Youth Peace Actions 2000+´. Yours sincerely Sephen Bradly, Ambassador." 1999
Governor-General
"The Governor-General has asked me to thank you for your letter. While the governor-General fully supports the ideal of international communication between our youth and universal harmony, he regrets that, as a general practice, he does not send messages to organisations, or become involved in initiatives, with which he is not personally associated in respect of events outside Australia. Yours sincerely, Kevin Davidson, Senior Adviser to the Governor-General." 1999

"October 19, the IDEAS day 1996, we hope to find a suitable street, plant trees, and make it become 'Life-Link Alley'. It will also be an action day for general cleaning of the Sarajevo city. All the highschool students and teachers will participate, and community firms will help too. Let us hope for nice weather!"

A Report 2009 of Life-Link Programme inspired activities and actions performed at six schools in Arica;
Conclusion: Teachers say: We are working because the Life-Link program inspires us, because we have noticed the dedication from Life-Link staff and friends of this program.

From CONAMA (Institution Environment)
We would like to thank Mrs. Gladys Hernandez for her outstanding work as the coordinator in Life-Link NGO, using methods of student participation in schools by developing a guidebook Water for Life 2008. Through applying the book in teaching in the schools in this region we hope to increase a good use of the water recourses, which in its turn is a valuable contribution in the diffusion of respect, peace and local identity.
Through her initiative the work of environmental certification that our institution offers to the schools in Chile has been valued more. Her work has generated notable advance when it comes to including the topic of water as a subject in the schools. And she has helped in an important way to form a network of associations as a support towards a sustainable development.
