WorldMeteorologicalOrganization squares or WMO squares is a system of Geocode geocodes that divides a chart of the world with latitude longitude gridlines e.g. plate carr e projection , Mercator Projection Mercator or other into grid cells of 10 latitude by 10 longitude , each with a unique, 4 digit numeric identifier refer chart at NODC http www.nodc.noaa.gov OC5 WOD05 data05geo.html World Ocean Database 2005 page . On the plate carr e projection the grid cells appear square, however if the Mercator projection is used, the grid cells appear stretched vertically nearer the tops and bottoms of the map. On the actual surface of the Globe , the cells are approximately square only adjacent to the equator, and become progressively narrower and tapered also with curved northern and southern boundaries as they approach the poles, and cells adjoining the poles are unique in possessing three faces rather than four. Each 10 x10 square is allocated a number between 1000 and 7817. The numbering system is based first on global quadrant numbers where 1 NE, 3 SE, 5 SW, 7 NW which gives the initial digit of any square code 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 7xxx . The second digit x0xx through x8xx indicates the number of tens of degrees latitude north in global quadrants 1 and 7, south in global quadrants 3 and 5 of the minimum square boundary nearest to the Equator , i.e. a cell extending between 10 N and 20 N or 10 S and 20 S has this digit 1, a cell extending between 20 N and 30 N has this digit 2, etc. The third and fourth digits xx00 through xx17 similarly indicate the number of tens of degrees of longitude of the minimum square boundary, nearest to the Prime Meridian . By way of illustration, the square 1000 thus extends from 0 N to 10 N, 0 E to 10 E, and the square 7817 from 80 N to 90 N, 170 W to 180 W, adjacent to the major portion of the International Date Line .

additionalcitations date March 2011 The Action for World Solidarity organization is a German political Regional development development non government organization sponsoring projects in India , Africa and Brazil . Founded in 1957, it is one of the oldest political development organizations in Germany. Background The Action for World Solidarity AWS has its roots in the 1957 Aufruf f r die Hungernden Appeal for the Hungry , initiated by Lothar Kreyssig and signed by important public figures in Germany, such as Heinrich Albertz , Willy Brandt , Heinz Galinski , Kurt Scharf and Otto Suhr . It called for people in postwar Germany to give up one meal a week and donate the money saved to feed the hungry in poor countries. In contrast to other organizations, since its inception, the AWS has sent no development workers or experts , rather it sponsors projects that are implemented and supported by locals. The goal of the AWS is to support disadvantaged groups financially and encourage them so they can foster their own long term, independent change in their countries. The AWS seeks to promote human rights , empower women and protect the environment in the southern hemisphere. ref http www.terravivagrants.org Home view grant makers foundations and ngos action for world solidarity Terra Viva Grants official website Description of Action for World Solidarity.
