摘要：
The paper presents a case study of sustainable development in rural China through a medical mission and missionary education initiative that sought to empower locals through dental health care education. The training method used was culturally adapted so that following the facilitators' departure, the dental clinic continued to be run by the trained locals who, then, also went on to empower others using the same training method.
