We have been contemplating writing an article on Abebe Bikila. On what Abebe means for Ethiopians. We received a couple of emails from non-Ethiopians asking why there would be a Bikila T-shirt. Well, there is a need. We couldn’t explain per se.Shipping has become a fulltime job, Bernos shipping center (which happens to be someone’s apartment) is learning how to optimize the orders it receives. So we have been busy. Picking, packaging, labeling and dropping at the local UPS store. Don’t worry we are not rich yet. For example,
We received a couple of emails from a guy in New York, claiming that he would like to buy all three of shirts but doesn’t have a credit card. Don’t worry send as a check as we will mail you the shirts. No, I’ll be leaving to Ethiopia in a couple of days so I was hoping you would ship overnight so I could rock it in Addis. Don’t worry I’ll mail check right away. Ok we will even cover the extra costs for the overnight shipping.
So it was shipped to him; but we didn’t receive the check 2 weeks and counting.
In the mean time the Bernos Bulletin has been neglected, but in the next four weeks we will have a comprehensive article about Abebe Bikila. Till then we are going to have a competition.
Free Abebe Bikila T-shirt for the first 2 people who will write a comprehensive article on what Abebe Bikila means to themselves in four hundred words or more. Both articles will be posted on the Bernos bulletin. Sumbit your article by sending us an email at info@bernos.org.
we received and email, how does the person know that we havent received any articles already, well you will know because we will post the artcle as soon as its sent to info@bernos.org. so far none article sumbissions.
1 picture = 1000 words, 2 pictures = 2000 words, 2000 words / 400 words = 5 shirts. I be waiting…

U r kidding me right? Yewah … weyis min tibalalachihu?
Alternatively, maybe i’m evil. How about you send me one of each print? I’ll send you a check when I am of age to access my trust fund
Yemir!
Lemehonu, what sizes are the t-shirts?
beyene picturs do not count,
tobian, maybe it will get here, we have faith in our ethiopian people, maybe it got the wrong address or something. all sizes are available..
we still haven’t got an email! and I’m quite shocked, that people rather pay for a shirt than type a short article. how interesting!?
I guess I’m going to have to write this article,… no emails as of yet.
Tobian as far as the check we received it, have fate in our people.
