SILK-ROAD 2002 Problem 3

In each unit cell of a finite set of cells of an infinite checkered board, an integer is written so that the sum of the numbers in each row, as well as in each column, is divided by $2002$ . Prove that every number $\alpha$ can be replaced by a certain number $\alpha'$ , divisible by $2002$ so that $|\alpha-\alpha'| <2002$ and the sum of the numbers in all rows, and in all columns will not change.
