    The following is a message from Allen Box, All Saints', Westboro:
    
    "I just saw your interview with Peter Elliott about the HIV/AIDS badges.  They can be ordered through me at [email protected] .
    I purchase them from the Social Outreach branch of the Diocese of Cape Town for resale here.  The cost is $5.00 per badge.  I prefer to distribute them to others for sale in lots that are multiples of 25.  Purchasers then usually sell them for  $5.00 or any amount above that people wish to give.  Monies sent to me are then forwarded to the members of the project at Brown's Farm.  I can sell them one at a time if necessary but it's not the best way to go. Hope that's helpful.  Thanks."
