Twenty years ago, Aguaviva, a small village
in the north of Spain, was dying.He wondered, "How can I bring
this place back to life?" He knew the village
needed people, but from where? Then he had a
brilliant idea. He flew 6,300 miles to Buenos Aires
and started telling everyone about Aguaviva. He
spoke on the radio and put advertisements in
newspapers. The ads said, "If you are married with
two children under the age of 12, we'll 
offer you

a home, a job, free health care and education for
at least five years."The people
from Buenos Aires were used to a big city, so living
in a small village with little public transportation
was difficult at first.There was work
for builders repairing the old houses, and a factory
making electrical parts for cars opened.Young
people wanted more opportunities, so they
moved away to the cities.The
economy began to improve, too.After moving
to Spain, their future looked brighter.Aguaviva's
future looked dark.But everybody had new
opportunities, too.
