Permission for using some of the information from this biography

Hello,

I'm an AUK (American University of Kuwait) student and I'm a freshman.
In my public speaking course we are asked to present an informative speech and I had chosen my topic to be about Hans Christian Andersen.
So can I use some of information used in this forum?
I can strictly insure you that I would give credits also give this link to my professor as my reference along with the story of little mermaid.

Thank you,
Best Regards,
Areeg Moustafa Ahmed
