Message From the Treasurer of ALFEA 

It is indeed a great pleasure to be a part of the ALFEA’s executive committee and I sincerely thank the members and the well-wishers for the trust and confidence placed on me. Our organization ALFEA is the official body incorporated under the SLBFE Act No. 21 of 1985 and the sole organization which comprises most of the licensed foreign recruitment establishments in Sri Lanka. Due to the government incorporation, the Attorney General has requested to bring all the foreign employment agents into one umbrella.

During my tenure in 1999, 2001-2007 we were able to increase the number of membership up to 800. With those memberships, we were able to provide death allowances to our fellow members, medical assistance, disaster campaigns (droughts & tsunami). In addition to this, the members were able to go on foreign tours and build strong relationships between the foreign organizations in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.

There were also there were many fun & entertainment activities organized for the ALFEA members i.e. family days, sports events, Ifthar programs, etc. and a Grand Awards ceremony was organized with a large gathering at BMICH. A grand office opening ceremony also took place with the presence of our trade minister, SLBFE Chairmen with the officials, Ministers, Mayor, and other dignitaries. Thus, with the new team, I believe in bringing back the unity and stability of ALFEA like back in the days and be a strong organization which will be able to work for the betterment of the members welfare.

Hence, we seek the assistance and cooperation of all Licensed recruiting agents by being the active members of the association and help us to upgrade and modernize the office functions in order to provide better and efficient service to the trade. Once again I thank all the members who have been a part of ALFEA and I seek your cooperation in order to have a smooth performance in my duties and responsibilities. I assure that every rupee of the membership will be utilized in obtaining the maximum benefit to its membership with utmost transparency and accountability.

Thank you,
Thaha M.B.Zaman
