Symbolizing the sharing of merit. Generally seems to be done by the sponsors of each event, and here Nusan and her partner are the ones pouring the water.

The setup in a public school intrigues me because there's no separation between the groups. While people over on the carpet are praying, children are running around waving toys, people are eating and loudly chatting, and some like the woman in the background are just fixated.
