How exactly is this volunteering for me if I have to pay you?

This is a paid Volunteering Opportunity, we will most probably rename it as Voluntourism just to make it clear for the people who are interested. This opportunity is not paid by any other funds and is a private initiative coming from a local organization in Panama. As they have the costs of hosting, accomodation, creating a volunteering opportunity, food, transportation and also administration, participants need to pay.
This opportunity does not require any skills and is more a learning about a different culture opportunity as teaching english is only in the afternoons 4-5 days a week as a after school activity and participants are given all the necessary tools and assistance. This is still volunteering as the term of volunteering is not described by means of money exchange or duration.
Hope we have answered your question.
