Well, the letter got to him fine, and I don't really know how as all I put on the postal slip was his name, but I was relaying this to one of my colleagues today as we are sending him something else, and he just laughed at my amazement and said, "that's Africa"...I love it. :)

Mr. Elephant
So, BEN Namibia has mainly larger bicycle projects, but we also partner with a couple of entrepreneurs who have started their own independent bicycle workshops. One such man is named Mr. Elephant. Mr. Elephant has a shop near the coast, but does not have a post office box. A while ago I was trying to send him a letter, and called to see where I could send it to. While speaking to him on the phone, Mr. Elephant informed me that I should simply call a courier and tell them that I wanted to send a letter to Mr. Elephant in Swakop. I told him that I did not think that would work, but he assured me that it would.

From the sounds of the rounds you're making (that rhymes), I think that we should then be able to send you a letter that simply has Mary 'The Stuff" Fortson, and it should get there too.
