Care for Underprivileged and Refugee Empowerment Canada is a grassroots non-profit organization that is committed to ensuring that all individuals have access to the basic necessities required to guarantee equal opportunity at all levels of society worldwide. By identifying and examining underprivileged persons, refugees, and their respective situations, both within Canada and abroad, C.U.R.E. Canada will attempt to restore hope by alleviating the burdens restricting them from developing their potential and living a prosperous, healthy life. Through the provision of aid and the employment of advocacy and outreach, C.U.R.E. Canada will not only strive to remove barriers and ensure human rights, but also encourage the development of stable environments rooted in peace, independence, and self-sufficiency.

ShAIDS of Grey
-------------------
ShAIDS of Grey is an AIDS benefit theatre production that will take to the stage on March 14, 2008 at Theatre Aquarius. Inspired by Mary Fleming, ShAIDS of Grey celebrates the life of her late husband, Ernesto, who passed away from AIDS in 1990. All proceeds from the production will be donated to those suffering from AIDS in Africa, specifically orphans.

Community Homework Club
-----------------------------------
The C.U.R.E. Community Homework Club is a tutoring service as well as an after-school care program for underprivileged and refugee students living in Hamilton’s poorest neighborhoods. It runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 PM and helps students out with everything from Grade 2 Math to Grade 12 English.

Challenge Weekend
-------------------------
The C.U.R.E. Challenge Weekend is a project that involves youth engagement through experiential learning. It will take place on a weekend in mid-March, yet to be determined. While C.U.R.E. does a lot of work with refugee and other underprivileged groups, we also aim to work with those who might not know a great deal about such issues. Challenge Weekend seeks to take people out of their comfort zone, so to speak, and give them a chance to see for themselves the problems that face many of the communities around Hamilton area. This project will be primarily geared towards high school students and hopes to use university and college students as guides, mentors, and leaders. We are also looking for people to be on the planning team for Challenge Weekend.
