Ilena Saturay, 15, went to the Netherlands in 2006, and currently resides there with her family.

She is presently studying in UniC, Utrecht.

Her education comes from keeping herself active and aware of the society in which she lives in, interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds and building a bridge among those cultures.

Painting and other cultural activities have been, and still is, one of the important tools for overcoming cultural barriers.

She also writes once in a while, and hoping to be a journalist someday.
