A Humbling Experience

You would think that I was spoiled. I'm staying in an air conditioned residence (this might not sound lavish to some, but this is definitely a luxury in this weather). Someone drives me around wherever i want to go. I'm asked what i want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with the option(s) of whatever I'd like. Someone cleans my room and washes, irons, and folds my clothes on request. They make sure that have access to most, if not all, the amenities and things that are readily accessible to me at my house in America. All for what tho? I must say that this is truly a humbling experience. At least this aspect of it. Its kind of disheartening to know that a large number of people don't live like this in Ghana, and me coming here for just 3 weeks, never setting foot on this soil before am living like this.
