Συν Αθηνά και χείρα κίνει (sin athina kai chira kini) – This is an ancient greek proverb that refers to goddess Athina and means: Don’t expect everything from God, you have to act and he (or she) will aid.

From this proverb comes the name of “Synathina”, an initiative of the Municipality of Athens, that supports and promotes the work of NGOs based or operating in Athens.
