Information about IAWN

International Anglican Women's Network (IAWN) was formed in 1996 
http://iawn.anglicancommunion.org/index.cfm

Mandate

The mandate of the International Anglican Women’s Network (IAWN), as an official network of the Anglican Communion, is to report to the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) on women’s concerns. It serves as the global voice of Anglican women and links Anglican women around the globe.

Vision:To be a bold and prophetic voice for Anglican women throughout the Anglican Communion and in the wider world. Purpose:To enable and empower all women of the Anglican Communion to work cooperatively at national, provincial and communion-wide levels to strengthen the ministries of women in God's world and to ensure women are influential and equal participants throughout the entire Anglican Communion.

Information about Tin: from Barb C.

Under WA Little Helpers were children from birth to age 6 and in any given year parishes hosted parties for Mums & tots at which time the tins were emptied & funds collected went off to National to support children’s ministries in the north & overseas. Each Branch (parish ACW) also had a Little Helpers Secretary who visited families with children in the age group above, sent birthday cards & maintained baptismal rolls – often sending a card to mark the anniversary of a child’s baptism. After age 6 the hope was the girls would join JA - Jr Auxiliary and then GA – Girls Auxilary.  I think some of the parishes in the Maritimes still have these groups.  When the named changed from WA to ACW children’s ministries folded into Family Life and somehow this huge title seems to have ‘thrown the baby out with the bath water – so to speak.
