A proud South African woman, Thezell Willers, recently headed to Facebook's ImStaying to share a hearty post about how she and her neighbours came across an idea to make both their lives easier and more pleasant.

Using what they refer to as a "neighbour mailbox", the neighbours share goodies and sometimes requests with each other over their wall. According to Thezell, sometimes they share cakes and other times they share a cup of milk or some sugar.

"The boundary wall between us and our neighbours is called “The Neighbours' Mailbox”. This is where we leave homemade muffins or bread for each other. If we (us or them) run out of milk, eggs etc, we help each other and place it in/collect it from “The neighbours' Mailbox”. WE HAVE THE BEST NEIGHBOURS and I wonder if this neighbourly care happens in other countries too," she wrote.
