The Big Brother program is a great idea, and it will get him out of the house (not that he shouldn't be in there, he should be) and see how others live while helping less fortunate children. I think he probably had children when he was too young, but that's done now, and since he doesn't seem to be finding meaning at home, perhaps he should also be in counseling. Also, what does it mean to be "big on honor"? How about he tries being "honorable" to his children? They will pick up on his unhappiness and possibly blame themselves.
