WordPlay Baton Rouge project is part of the Big Buddy Program:

A fundamental challenge facing many communities is how to support those children who are economically, educationally, or emotionally disadvantaged. We believe that at the Big Buddy Program we create an opportunity for the community as a whole to help – and helped we have.
