SINGAPORE: The clocks in the heartlands are ticking down to the Youth Olympic Games in August.

Launched by Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, it is the first countdown clock for the North West District.

That is not all the district is doing to celebrate the games.

The North West Brisk Walking Club aims to cover 250,000 kilometres from now until August.

Over at the Marina Barrage, about 170 youths from local and international schools came together to create 169 kites - which is the number of days to the Games.

Each kite carries the wishes of youths for the Youth Olympics.
